Z Tejas is a small chain of restaurants that serve a sort of texmex fusion cuisine. The food is surprisingly tasty, and they make the best cornbread. This is a sweet cakelike northern-style cornbread rather than a thinner southern style, but it’s my favorite.
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup creamed corn
1/4 cup frozen corn
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
pinch salt
Mix all dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl, add dry ingredients.
Lightly grease a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet. Pour in batter. (I preheat the skillet while I’m making the batter.)
Bake at 375 for 16 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.
