Nina’s cornbread recipe has become the default cornbread recipe for most of us on the Cape.  This was her grandmother’s, and it’s every bit as good now as it must have been way back then.

1 ½ C corn meal
1 heaping T flour
1 t salt
½ t soda

Add To The Above:
1 C buttermilk
1/3 C salad oil
2 eggs beaten

Add To The Above:

3 - 6 jalapeno peppers minced
½ bell pepper, chopped
4 -5 green onions, sliced w/greens

Heat iron skillet on top of stove with oil and a little cornmeal before adding mixture. Leave for about 5 minutes or less. Bake in oven 30 to 45 minutes at 350.
