Being a southern boy, I have eaten a lot of cornbread in my day. Wanted to try Paul’s Mexican take on it. The first time I tried the recipe, I did it with the jalapenos. It was good. The next time I did it without the jalapenos. It was great. Ranks up there with the best cornbread I have ever eaten. Suggest checking it first at 15 minutes, to ensure it doesn’t bake too long.

This is a great go to recipe for a simple weeknight cornbread. I do add more salt, and then let the batter sit in the fridge for 20 minutes so that the jalepeno flavor intensifies. Serve with salted butter and enjoy! Thanks Paula!

Made a very nice cornbread. I slimmed it down a lot by using fat free sour cream, egg beaters, and skim milk, and it still turned out wonderfully moist. I used a little more salt and it was wonderful. A great side dish for chili, especially if you don't have much in the house and want a quick easy side.
