Bacon Hominy Cornbread With Pickled Jalapenos Food

CHEESY BACON JALAPENO SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in the skillet. Spread the grease up the sides of the skillet using a paper towel.
• Cook jalapeno peppers in the bacon grease over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Combine cornmeal and skim milk together in a bowl; let sit until some of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix eggs and butter into cornmeal mixture; stir into flour mixture just until batter is moist. Fold jalapeno peppers, 1/2 cup pepperjack cheese, and green onions into batter. Pour batter into the cast iron skillet; crumble bacon over top and sprinkle remaining cheese over bacon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place skillet with bacon grease in oven.
• Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, buttermilk, butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Fold in Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Pour batter into hot skillet and sprinkle with crumbled bacon, gently pressing bacon into batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

CORNBREAD MADELEINES WITH JALAPEñO

Steps:

• Use 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter to grease 3 madeleine pans (12 madeleines each). Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a small skillet, add shallots and sauté on medium 6 minutes or so, until soft and barely beginning to brown. Mix with jalapeños in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine corn meal, corn flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Mix milk and buttermilk with the eggs in another bowl, beating just enough to blend. Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and fold together. Fold in the shallots and jalapeños.
• Spoon batter into madeleine molds, filling them almost to the top. Bake 15 minutes, until firm to the touch. Let cool 30 minutes, then remove from pans. Serve warm, or set aside to rewarm and serve later.

HOMINY-JALAPENO CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch-square baking dish or a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sour cream and melted butter; whisk into the dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the hominy, pickled peppers, walnuts and jalapeno.
• Pour the batter into the prepared dish or skillet. Bake until the cornbread springs back when pressed in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the dish, then loosen the edges and slice.
