Skillet Jalapeno Cornbread
When the cornbread is baking, it warms my heart and soul. I love savory, soft, hot and delicious cornbread! The idea of making cornbread video popped into my head.
I’ll be honest with Y’all, I want to make easy video recipes in the beginning to practice editing and of course, recording, until I can take the bigger challenge and make more complicated recipes to shoot, meaning, those recipes that take more steps, more ingredients, etc.
I just need to get more comfortable, and I hope you will join me when I go on this journey. I promise, it will get better in a short time, I am a fast learner (LOL!).
Now, let’s talk about this cornbread. If I tell you that this is one of the best cornbreads that I ever ate, would you believe me? It’s not because I made it, but seriously, it came out AHHmazing!
I made it several times this past weekend to check and recheck just to make sure, and this one was ever so soft, moist, light, just a bit heated from chilies and with a little crunch from the fire-roasted corn, which you can probably get in your grocery stores.
I mean, my family went bananas, and that’s why I am sharing it with you all today. I tell ya, no more dry cornbread!!! This is from the scratch, savory, delicious and the perfect cornbread recipe that you must try.
