Southern Style Cornbread

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450°F.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, add the cornmeal and sift in the baking powder. Stir well to combine. Add 1 cup of the Grated V&V Supremo® Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese and the corn kernels. Stir until the corn kernels are coated with the mixture.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk for 30 seconds. Add the V&V Supremo® Crema Supremo® Brand Mexican Sour Cream and whisk in the lard 1 tbsp. at a time. Continue whisking for an additional minute.

4. 4

   Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Grease a 12 x 2-inch cast iron skillet with lard and place it in the oven for 6 minutes.

5. 5

   Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, as the handle will be hot. Pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and cook for 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Take the skillet out of the oven and carefully sprinkle on the remaining cheese. Place it back in the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Transfer the cornbread to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
