George's Jalapeño Cornbread

• 1 cup corn meal
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ cup sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 jalapeños, chopped
• 1-½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz.)
• 1 4-ounce jar diced pimentos, drained

• 1 can cream style corn
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1-¼ cups milk
• ¼ cup Crisco oil

Preheat a 10-inch Dutch oven with a few coals on the top and bottom -- liberally greased, of course. If you are homebound, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet and preheat it in the oven.

In one bowl, combine the corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the onion, jalapenos, cheese, pimentos and corn. Add the two together and mix until combined. In the bowl you just emptied, mix the eggs, milk and oil. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry, and stir until just moistened. Pour into your preheated Dutch oven or skillet. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until it's done.

This sounds delicious. I'm assuming it is nice and sweet? I love my cornbread a little on the sweet side, especially when it has some tasty jalapenos in it.
