Irish Spicy Cornbread

SUBMITTED BY: Brad McGraw PHOTO BY: TANAQUIL

"A nice mildly spicy cornbread recipe. Great with chili. You may want to adjust the amount of cayenne and hot sauce to taste. For this recipe I use cast iron pans that have 5 small corn cob shapes in them, but any cast iron frying pan will do."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven and skillet to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
