Ingredients
1 cup low-fat milk
1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
1 red, orange, or green bell pepper, diced or 2 jalapeño or serrano peppers, deseeded
1 large egg
1∕3 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
1∕3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Non-stick spray
Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, produce, and utensils.
- Add white vinegar or lemon juice to milk to make homemade buttermilk. Mix thoroughly and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg slightly with a fork.
- Add homemade buttermilk, yogurt, and peppers to the egg. Mix until smooth.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Blend with a rubber spatula or mixing spoon until just moist, and only small lumps remain. Do not overmix or cornbread will be too dense.
- Coat a baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour in batter.
- Bake on middle rack of oven until edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 25–30 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- If using jalapeño or serrano peppers, remove stems, and halve. Scrape out seeds with the tip of a butter knife.
