This recipe has been posted for play in Culinary Quest - Texas found at Top Ten Best Texas Food Recipes. The author has these hints for us : adding fresh corn is also an option and will really lend authenticity to this recipe. The recipe is very versatile and can be made the day before but it is best when fresh out of the oven and mixed with juicy beans and/or slathered with real butter (never eat fresh corn bread with margarine!) and eaten hot! The best cornbread is made fresh from scratch and is cooked in an iron skillet in the oven.

    In a bowl stir together the dry ingredients: flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder and salt.

    Make a well in the center of the mixed dry ingredients and add: eggs, milk or buttermilk, oil or bacon fat (for best flavor) a can of creamed corn, chopped green chiles.
