2 tablespoons butter
1/2-pound bag (or 2 cups) frozen corn
3 cups all-purpose flour

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

In a large skillet, fry onions and peppers in butter until crisp-tender. Remove from heat, stir in corn and set skillet aside.

In a large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.

Lightly beat together melted butter, buttermilk and eggs. Pour into flour mixture and whisk together until just combined. Fold in vegetables.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until cornbread is set in center. These recipes are from the January 2006 issue of Heart of the Home.
