You’d almost swear that this Pioneer Woman Cornbread With Creamed Corn had pudding in it. Adding creamed corn and grated cheese to this cornbread makes it super moist. It’s fluffy, sweet, and moist, and everyone will love it.
I will try to go through everything related to this Pioneer Woman Cornbread With Creamed Corn, this means you will find related information to the recipe so feel free to make use of it.
Ingredients That You’ll Need:
- Yellow Corn Meal: The backbone of this recipe is cornmeal, which is ground corn that is found in the baking aisle at the grocery store. It should not be confused with polenta, which is medium-grind cornmeal used for a side dish.
- Buttermilk: Adds fluffiness and a better rise to baked goods while adding a slightly tangy flavor.
- Creamed Corn: Creamed corn is one of this Pioneer Woman Cornbread With Creamed Corn recipe. Ensure that the creamed corn is drained of most of its liquid, or it will turn out too moist.
- Cheese: I love Muenster cheese for Mexican and Southwestern recipes. Give it a try.
- The Batter: Sugar, Flour, Baking Powder, Eggs, and Salt
- Chile Powder: New Mexico Red Chile Powder has an earthy and spicy flavor that I enjoy.
- Jalapeno Peppers: Before chopping the peppers, remove the veins and seeds if you want less heat.
Recipe Swaps:
- Cheese: Use mild, medium, or sharp cheddar. Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack would also work well here, and they all will make regular cornbread into cheesy cornbread.
- Milk: You can substitute 1 cup of milk for buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
- Chile Powder: If you don’t have New Mexico Red Chile Powder, Ancho chile powder can be substituted. I wouldn’t substitute chili (with an i) powder as it’s a combination of spices that will change the overall flavor.
- Jalapeno Peppers: In case you find jalapeno peppers too hot, you can swap them out for fresh poblano peppers. You can also use canned Hatch chiles. Just make sure to drain them and press them on a paper towel to dry before adding them to the batter.
Can I make Pioneer Woman Cornbread With Creamed Corn in a cast-iron skillet?
Yes. Be sure to heat the skillet in the oven for about 10 minutes before adding the Pioneer Woman Cornbread With Creamed Corn batter. This will help the bottom get a little bit crisp. Tip: Before adding the batter, pat 1/2 Tablespoon of butter into the hot pan. This will make the bottom crust even crispier.
Using a 9 inch cast iron skillet works best. If you’re using a 12-inch skillet, double the recipe and adjust cooking times. Keep inserting a toothpick into the batter until it comes out clean.
In a cast-iron skillet, the cornbread will cook hotter than in a baking dish, so check it after about 15 minutes and test it with a toothpick. It also makes a rustic presentation.

How To Make Pioneer Woman Cornbread With Creamed Corn?
