Skillet Chile Cheese Cornbread




Skillet Chile Cheese Cornbread



Baking partners challenge for this month is corn bread. When Swathi asked me to make and share this recipe, I thought it is a wonderful idea as it can be part of Thanksgiving menu . This is a southern style skillet cheese corn bread with a spicy kick and flavor of  jalapenos. It turned out moist and flavorful. The recipe is adapted fromWeight Watchers Light and Easy Cookbook,Oxmoor house,1997 and from 1001 Great Recipes from around the World, Culinary Arts Institute, New York, 1981.

Ingredients
Yellow Cornmeal- 1 1/2 cup
All purpose flour- 1 cup
Baking powder- 2 tsp
Salt- 1/4 tsp
Brown sugar- 2-3 tbs
Egg-2
Vegetable oil-1/4 cup
Carrot shredded- 1/3 cup (optional)
Green chilly  or Jalapenos- 3 ounce
(or according to spice tolerance)
Corn - 1/2 cup
( or cream style corn 1/2 can)
Butter milk- 1 cup
Milk- 1/2 cup
Shredded mild Cheddar cheese- 1 cup


Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and set aside.
Pre heat oven to 400 degree F
Lightly beat eggs until blended.Add oil and butter milk and mix well. Mix in the dry ingredients and corn, chilly, carrots and cheese and mix well. Mean while put the skillet on stove top and it gets hot add butter and pour in the batter.This will ensure crispy edges. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes or till tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. It will be lightly brown and crispy in the edges.
 Try this,

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference.

This cake complements any type of filling or frosting but I have just dusted it with powdered sugar to make it an accompaniment with coffee and my family really enjoyed this cake . I used self rising flour but you can use all purpose flour instead by adding in one third tsp of salt and one and one half tsp of baking powder to each cup of plain flour.
