So many ingredients....great hot with butter on them. Not saying I would rush out and make them again because of all the things I had to buy but I would if I just happened to have a lot of these ingredients in the house. Ended up being a little too expensive. The recipe filled up my muffin mold and I got 3 extra big ones besides. I found this recipe online.
INGREDIENTS:
3½ tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 cup yellow cornmeal
½ cup corn flour
⅜ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup packed Frito crumbs (about 2 cups Frito corn chips pulsed in a food processor)
1 large egg
1½ cups buttermilk
20 shakes of Tabasco sauce (or your preferred hot sauce), or more to taste
1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (preferably Tillamook Vintage Extra Sharp White Cheddar)
¼ cup coarsely chopped pimientos
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions (white and light green parts)
RECIPE:
Gather your ingredients!!
Preheat oven to 350°F with a muffin skillet in it. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
Sift the cornmeal, corn flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl. Using a whisk, stir in the Frito crumbs.
In a medium bowl, beat together the melted butter and the egg. Stir the buttermilk into the egg and butter mixture to combine. Add the hot sauce (as much as you can stand) and stir again to combine. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry to incorporate completely. Fold in the cheese, pimientos, and scallions.
Remove the skillet from the oven and place the remaining 1½ tablespoons butter in it to melt. Once the butter is sizzling, use a brush to coat muffin mold evenly. Then, use your spatula to scrape the batter into the pan, smoothing the top and giving the skillet a gentle shake to even it out.
Bake the cornbread for 30 minutes, until the edges are brown, the top is golden, and the bread has pulled away from the sides of the pan a little. Use a spatula to loosen the cornbread from the pan to avoid any sticking.
Great hot with butter!!
BONUS: Got 3 triangle pans with the leftover batter.
