Wonderful.Made as directed except instead of all that bacon fat I partially cooked bacon to remove some fat drained discarded fat in pan diced bacon finely and added to batter. only used 1/2 cup butter and cooked in lightly oiled glass pan.used 1% buttermilk but tho it looks like a lot of changes it wasn't.Just cut some of the fat and salt.also used half salt.
It was fantastic - I highly recommend the recipe. I added pickled peppers instead of fresh ones because that's what I had on hand however I could not have been happier with the dish. We usually have about 1/2 a pan of cornbread left over that we have to throw away but not this time. Every single slice was eaten!
I made this tonight. It turned out great. I made one change and omitted 1/2 cup of the butter. It didn't need it. Next time I would use serrano chiles for more heat. I only used half the bacon but would use more next time. Hubby loved it!
This turned out wonderful. Savory not too sweet. Would be great with a pat of butter. Only thing I did different was to cook in a 13x9 pan....I basted it with margarine and preheated it in the oven. I also mixed the bacon into the batter instead of just on top. Mild spice without the jalapeno seeds.
This was fantastic! I was hesitant about baking it in the skillet but it turned out great my friends and I were impressed. Definitely will make again!
I thought it was very good but will add 1/3 cup sugar next time and drain some of the bacon grease out of the pan before I put the batter in the cast iron skillet. pprekop
I made it today using the 9x13 dish I added some of the bacon grease to the dish and kept it in the oven until i was ready to add the batter. I also did not use the butter in the recipe if i want it i will spread it on top when it's done:) Everything cooked evenly and came out perfect! It was DELICIOUS! thank you for sharing I will definitely make again!
I love this recipe! My family likes hoecakes so I put the batter in my cast iron thin cornbread skillet in batches like pancakes otherwise everything else is the same. I love it crusty and this really does the trick. vls
Very good recipe. The bread is more cake-like; the baking powder provides a great rise to the bread. I only had two jalapenos but don't get too worried about it being too spicy. Caveman that I am I used more bacon and more cheese (I used pepper jack). My oven runs a bit hot but I still had to keep it in for the entire cooking time so check to make sure your bread is totally done. I used my broiler for about 90 minutes to brown the top. Went perfectly with my homemade chili!
I added the bacon to the batter. It was good cornbread but I ll change a couple things when I make it next time. I ll add honey and more cornmeal.
