This is my version of Mexican cornbread. It's got a bit of a kick to it. It will be as mild or hot as your pico de gallo is.

1 c flour, all purpose
1/4 c sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp granulated onion
1 egg
1 1/2 c buttermilk (or sour milk)
1/4 c butter, melted
1 c pico de gallo or 1 can rotel, drained
1 c grated cheese, your choice

Steps:

  • 1. https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lynnsocko/lynns-pico-de-gallo/salsa?k=%27lynn+socko+pico+de+gallo%27&p=2&o=r
  • 2. Mix together dry ingredients. Add milk and egg. Mix together until lumps are gone. Add pico de gallo and cheese, mix well.
  • 3. Place butter in cast iron skillet and heat till melted in oven. Remove and pour cornbread into pan. Bake 425° for 25 min.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels: Fresh corn kernels give the muffins a sweet and juicy flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them rise and give them a crispy crust.
  • Serve the muffins warm: Cornbread muffins are best served warm out of the oven. You can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Spicy cornbread muffins are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They're also a great snack or appetizer.
