BANDERA'S CORNBREAD RECIPE - (3.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or, better yet, a 12-inch cast iron skillet. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in creamed corn, chiles, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir just until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean. If using the skillet - watch carefully as edges may brown too much and time should be under an hour. If desired, serve with butter and honey. *Some think these quantities make it too rich (and unhealthy). Use 1/2 cup butter and less sugar to taste.

SALSA BANDERA

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients, and check the taste, it is always easier to add seasonings, so start light on the salt.
