Make:   -   (40 min - 20 min work)
  1. Preheat Oven to 375°F.
  2. Blast CHILI ANAHEIMS black with your Kitchen Torch and brush the skins off under running water. Cap, split in half and remove seed mass. Cut in half and place in a small pan with some water and steam until just softened. Dice about 1/4 inch.
  3. Drain CORN. Run in a processor until roughly chopped.
  4. Whisk all Dry Items together in a large bowl.
  5. Mix in all Vegie items.
  6. Whisk all Wet Items together in a small bowl.
  7. Stir Wet ingredients and Vegies into Dry ingredients until thoroughly mixed.
  8. Butter your cornbread skillet (or a 7" x 11" baking dish) liberally.
  9. Bake until firm and very lightly browned on top - about 25 to 35 minutes.
NOTES:
  1. Buttermilk

    . We don't churn our own butter around here, so Buttermilk is seldom at hand - but it's just as good faked up. To the 3/4 cup of Milk, add a Tablespoon of white vinegar and stir.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
