Inca Festival Bread
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 8 ounces creamed corn
- 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
- 10 ounces cheddar cheese, very old, sharp grated
- 1/2 cup hot chili peppers chopped
- 4 ounces pimentos chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- In a small saucepan, melt 6 tablespoon butter over low heat.
- Do not brown.
- Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
- Put remaining 2 tablespoon butter into an 8 inch diameter baking casserole; heat in oven no more than 4 to 5 minutes to avoid browning butter.
- Rotate and tilt casserole to coat inside.
- Set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, beat milk and eggs.
- Smoothly blend 1 cup white cornmeal, melted butter, corn, diced cheese, chillies, chopped red pimento, baking soda, salt.
- Mix thoroughly.
- It should have the consistency of southern cornbread, moderately runny but not down right liquid.
- If it seems to runny work in 1 or 2 tablespoon white cornmeal.
- Give butter in casserole a final swizzle, then pour in batter, smoothing it level.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over top and decorate with pimento strips.
- Do not cover.
- Place casserole, exactly in center of oven.
- Bake until a knife lightly pushed in center comes out clean and dry- usually 40 to 50 minutes.
- Serve at once.
