MOIST JALAPENO CORN BREAD

Moist Jalapeno Corn Bread image

After many years of experimenting, I developed this recipe for corn bread. It has become a favorite with my family and often accompanies our meals of chili, soup or meat dishes. You can adjust the "heat" by the number of jalapeno peppers you use. -Archie Timmons Milwaukie, Oregon
