Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal

This is a GREAT recipe. but i made the following changes. i used chopped (Jar)jalopenos instead of chilis. and Red BellPepper chopped fine, instead of pimentos... also ended up using 3/4 cup more cornmeal, because i mixed alltogether before i added the wet ingrediants. i'll learn.
