Erin and I had a bunch of jalapenos from our garden and we did not know what to do with them. We have been using them in salsas, beans and pico de gallo. Sidebar: pico de gallo means "rooster beak" in spanish. Who would of guessed that? /http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_de_gallo. Anyways I have never tried cornbread baked in an iron skillet so i decided to give it a try! I have a cast iron skillet that is well seasoned. Probablly near 15 years old!
Here is the recepie I used from http://southernfood.about.com/
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Vegetable oil for the pan

3 to 4 tablespoons sugar, optional
Dash ground chipotle chile pepper or cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh finely chopped jalapeno pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Mexican blend of cheeses, Cheddar Jack, or sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup canned corn kernels, optional
8 ounces sour cream
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg, beaten
4 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:Coat a heavy 10-inch skillet or 9-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil and set aside. Heat oven to 400°.
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, chipotle or cayenne pepper, chopped jalapeno peppers, and corn kernels.
Heat the skillet or pan in the oven or on the stovetop.
Whisk together the sour cream, milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Spread in the hot greased skillet or baking pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until set and lightly browned around the edges. Cool in the pan on a rack; cut into squares or wedges.
ENJOY!

The cornbread you gave me was delicious with our Tuesday night fish tacos! The bread could be a meal by itself, it was so good.
Thanks!
