Cheddar Cheese and Cayenne pepper Cornbread

Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper Cornbread:

Whilst on a trip to New York we ate out at a cafe that served Cornbread and we just had to try it as it looked so good. It tasted amazing. The one we tried was sweet but I know it's mostly served as a savoury in the South.

After lots of umming and aaahing I decided to have a go at making some, so I decided to make a savoury cornbread with added cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper. It was delicious :)

Ingredients :

2 cups of cornmeal flour

1/2 cup of plain flour

pinch of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt

2 eggs

half a cup of milk

Grated cheddar cheese (as needed)

Cayenne pepper to taste

oil for greasing.

Method and Preparation:

Pre heat your oven to 180 (350)

In a large mixing bowl, add the flours,salt and baking powder and mix well.

Now whisk in 2 eggs and add the the milk little at a time to form a thick-ish batter ( not too thick ,not too thin)

Now add the grated cheese and cayenne pepper as needed .

Grease your tin that you will be pouring the mixture in and carefully pour in the batter.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes ( please check as oven temps vary)

Enjoy alone or with a hearty stew or soup :)

I hope you try this recipe, it's quick and easy and very tasty .
