By longhornfans

Enjoy this festive bread for brunch or as a side with dinner. Surprise—the color comes from diced peppers!

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp of baking powder
• 1 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup finely diced mixed peppers

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter an 8- or 9-inch square pan.
2. Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the milk, butter, and egg together. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and gently stir until the batter is evenly moistened. Add the peppers and stir to combine.
3. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cornbread comes out dry. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
