Cornbread




Ingredients

2 cans of corn

5 eggs

1 cup of AP flour

3 tbsp of cornmeal (I use Harina Pan)

1 cup of sugar

1 tsp vanilla

150gr of butter at room temp

2 tsp Baking Powder

3 tbsp powdered milk

1 cup of grated white cheese


Method
Blend eggs, vanilla, 1 can of corn with its water. After blending it, add the sugar, AP flour, and butter.

In a bowl add the other can of corn without its water, the cheese, baking powder, milk powder, and then add to it all the wet ingredients that were blended. Mix slowly until homogeneous.
In a pirex, or baking form, pass thru it butter and powder with AP flour, then add the cornbread mixture. Bake at 180C for around 45min-1hr, just until a toothpick comes out clean.
