1 c. cornmeal
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. canned cream style corn
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 c. buttermilk
1/3 c. melted shortening
1 c. grated long horn cheese
1/4 to 1/2 c. canned jalapeno peppers, drained, seeded and chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir cornmeal, salt and soda together. Combine corn, eggs, buttermilk and shortening and mix with dry ingredients. Pour half of the mixture into a well greased 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Sprinkle with cheese and peppers and add remaining mixture. Bake in preheated oven 30 to 40 minutes, until the bread browns slightly and springs at the touch. Yield: 9 (3 inch) squares.
