CORN MUFFINS WITH CHILI
Few things are best enjoyed to take a bite out of a piece of hot cornbread homemade. Especially when it's the first time, as is my
case. With its great buttery flavor and texture that melts in your mouth corn bread can be the perfect accompaniment to a delicious,
spicy stew of meat and beans.
The spicy beef chili combined with the texture of cornbread and cheese distinctive touch, achieve a perfect conjunction. Rarely have
I never eaten something so simple and delicious like this.
Cornbread ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal
¾ cup white flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1-½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter (margarine, shortening)
1-½ cups buttermilk (sour milk)
2 large eggs
Cornbread directions:
Add the cornstarch to the bowl with white flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Breaks and take a couple of large eggs in a medium
bowl. Add the buttermilk to eggs. In a separate bowl, six tablespoons melted butter. When the butter is melted, add it to the egg
mixture and buttermilk and whisk all ingredients together.
BONUS: I tryed make some filled muffins with crushed onion and mild hot peppers and other with sugar for my sons (they help me do
it)... Sweet cornbread? Yes it's good, definetly!
Place the mold in a heated oven. Bake corn bread for 15-20 minutes
