IRISH SPICY CORNBREAD

Irish Spicy Cornbread image

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

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
⅓ cup white sugar
4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
½ cup shortening
1 ½ cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
4 ½ teaspoons hot pepper sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven and skillet to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. In a small bowl, beat together milk, eggs and hot pepper sauce. Stir milk mixture into the flour/cornmeal mixture until just blended. Remove hot skillet from oven, spray with non-stick cooking spray and pour batter into skillet.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
