How to Make Bandera Cornbread Clone
- Preheat oven and cast iron skillet(s) to 300°F (150°C) for at least 15 minutes.

- Add the eggs one at a time to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
- Stir in the shredded cheese.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet(s) from the oven. Lightly coat the top and sides with canola or vegetable oil.

- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
