Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread

By Belinda

This cornbread is sooo moist--the key is the buttermilk plus the cream style corn. Leave out the jalapenos for a milder version.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) can cream style corn
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
