We've made this texas cornbread in our Thermomix a couple of times now...always to go along with the beef brisket chilli con carne recipe. It's a nice change to have instead of nachos...although you could easily have some of them too if you fancy!! The bread has a lovely soft texture with a crisp edge and bottom. You get a slight hint of chilli along with the corn kernels and cheese - the choice of cheddar you use is up to you - I like an extra mature cheddar.
If you don't have a Thermomix and would like to try making this recipe, please scroll down for the Non-Thermomix Instructions I have suggested.
Tips
- I'd recommend turning the cornbread half way through cooking so that it browns evenly.
- At the end of the cooking time, use a skewer or sharp knife to test that it's cooked right through - the skewer/knife should come out clean. Extend cooking time by 5 minute intervals and keep checking that the skewer/knife comes out clean before removing from oven to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.
