This delicious corn bread is flavored with mild chiles and fresh corn giving it a little extra flavor! Not only is it easy to make, it bakes up light and fluffy every time!
To remove the corn kernels, you can use a Corn Kerneler or a knife. This recipe uses buttermilk… if you don’t have buttermilk you can substitute it with sour milk! Place 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar into a 1 cup measuring cup. Top to 1 cup with milk and let it sit 5 minutes.
