Last night I decided to make cornbread to have with our BBQ and thought I would share the recipe I used with all of you. I fell in love with this cornbread years ago at a favorite local restaurant and since I'm one to try making my favorite restaurant foods at home, I searched online for a clone and felt that this recipe came very close to the one I've always enjoyed.

About This Recipe
"Moist, sweet and amazing cornbread from the Bandera chain of restaurants owned by Hillstone Restaurant Group. To accurately clone the restaurant's version, use small (6") cast iron skillets, however this can just be made in one large 12" cast iron skillet."Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn
- 2 ounces green chili peppers ( 1/2 small can, roasted style)
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese ( shredded)
- 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese ( shredded)
- 4 eggs
Directions:
Preheat oven & skillet to 300 degrees.
- Mix flour, cornmeal, salt & baking powder and set aside. Melt butter and combine with sugar, creamed corn and chili peppers. Mix to combine. Add eggs one-by one and mix until well blended. Add cheese. Fold-in flour mixture until mixed well, clumps are okay.
- Carefully remove cast iron skillet from oven and evenly coat top and sides with canola/vegetable oil. Pour in cornbread batter (be careful, it may splatter).
- Bake 30-45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
NOTE: I use a 10 inch cast iron skillet and the batter fits perfect. I cook the full 45 minutes @ 275' in my convection oven. Perfect every time!

I have never tried to make cornbread. Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI love sweet cornbread - I'm getting out my cast iron skillet!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds really good, and I want to try it. Your recipe has a lot of yummy extra ingredients, the cornbread I bake is just plain, but I reserve an iron skillet that is ONLY for my cornbread!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm .... cornbread! Being from the South, I like mine sweet. Like Anita, I always make mine plain, too. Those add-ins sound great!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Oh, I love cornbread and this looks so good! I've made a similar one with the creamed corn but yours sounds so much better with the cheese and all. Gotta try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,

I have a 10" cast iron skillet, and I'm making your cornbread this weekend. Yum!
ReplyDeleteDiane,

I contemplated making cornbread tonight and now I could kick myself! This looks and sounds amazing! I never heard of this restaurant before.
ReplyDeleteOooh. Yummy licious! Must try! I'm going to pin it...oh yes!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your prayers, Diane.
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Diane, This looks scrumptious! I am such a cornbread fan! Have you ever toasted it in the toaster the morning after and had it for breakfast! YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the cornbread that used to be served at the Darryl's chain around here. I love a sweet, moist cornbread. This looks really delicious. Imagine it would be great this fall with chili. Pinning it to save.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good!

I love cornbread! This sounds a lot like a Mexican cornbread I've made in the past. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love cornbread and wonder if this recipe would work in my little BabyCakes machine. I've only used it for cake, but they say I can make cornbread balls in it too. I think I ought to give it a whirl because your recipe sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon,
DeleteI'm not familiar with the Baby Cakes machine. Could you try to make just one in the machine and see if it comes out? Then if it does you could continue to make more. And if not, just finish using the batter according to the recipe's instructions. This cornbread batter (is about the same as a cake batter) which can also be made in a well greased baking dish too if you don't happen to have a cast iron pan. Best of luck and thanks for coming by The Checkered Apple!
Yum! I love cornbread!!! Thanks for the recipe :)
