Meskin Cornbreads

preheat oven to 350F
preheat 8" skillet on stovetop or in stove, with 2T corn oil, shy of smoking, while you combine ingredients in a mixing bowl:
  • 1C yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2C AP flour
  • 1T + 1t baking powder
  • 1t salt
stir in:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 1 small (7oz) can chiles plus liquid (we want the citric acid in lieu of buttermilk)
  • 1T oil
  • 1/2 C grated cheddar cheese (or more)
  • Chopped onions, leftover corn, bacon bits, tootsie rolls, whatever you want to throw in so you can personalize it and re-post this recipe as your own.

Dump the batter into the hot oil in your skillet (this is how you get a nice crust). Make it a bit lower in the center and higher on the sides, it's gonna rise. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Loosen sides and turn it out onto a small plate, bottoms up. You'll notice there's no added sugar in this recipe. This was not an oversight. Don't go having people think poorly of you.
