Creamed Corn Cornbread

This recipe by Alton Brown makes really good cornbread with a nice crispy crust.  Most cornbread recipes that include creamed corn have a mushy texture and this one does not.  

I omitted the sugar since we don't care for the sweet taste in cornbread.  

After pouring the batter into the preheated skillet I added chopped jalapenos to half of it since DH likes jalapeno cornbread. 

 CREAMED CORN CORNBREAD

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup creamed corn
2 tablespoons canola oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven.

In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together to combine well.

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and creamed corn, whisking together to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk to the batter.

Swirl the canola oil in the hot cast iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes.
