    • About This Recipe

    “This is another of my adopted recipes.I have made this recipe for years.We always called it “Tex-Mex Cornbread”.I cook mine in a large cast iron chicken fryer skillet which gives it a really nice crusty bottom.I then slice it in pie shaped wedges.It’s very good served with chili or a hearty soup.”

    • Reviews

  • “I was hoping I would like this since I cannot eat wheat and was looking forward to a gluten free cornbread recipe.I didn’t have a cast iron pan but cooked them in large muffin tins.The piece I had was dry and flavorless.My husband’s piece was “omlette-like” and not very good.I’m wondering if maybe I did something wrong.”

  • “This produced a nice moist product.I put the pan with a touch of oil in the oven while the oven was preheating.This produces a nice crispy crust.I realized when putting it in the oven that it didn’t call for flour.I did not have sour cream so I used buttermilk and reduced the oil and used only about 2 tablespoons.DH and I really enjoyed it.Thanks for sharing.”

  • “Nice and moist cornbread – I undercooked mine a bit – next time i’ll leave it in the full 50 min.I think I’d reduce the oil and put in more cheese too.”
