Mexican Cornbread

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. 2
   Lightly grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet (a 9x13-inch baking dish works too, but you won't get the same crust).
3. 3
   In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together.
4. 4
   Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
5. 5
   Mix in corn, chilies and cheese.
6. 6
   In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
7. 7
   Add flour mixture to cheese mixture, taking care not to overmix (overmixing makes for tougher cornbread).
8. 8
   The batter doesn't have to be totally smooth.
9. 9
   Pour batter into greased pan, and bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
10. 10
    Serve warm for best crust.
