--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3       c            Corn meal
     1/2   c            Flour
   2       ts           Baking soda
   2       ts           Salt
   2       tb           Sugar
   3                    Egg -- beaten
   2 1/2   c            Buttermilk
     1/2   c            Oil
   1       lg           Onion
     1/2   ts           Garlic powder
     1/2   c            Jalapeno pepper
   1       oz           Pimiento -- chopped
     1/4   lb           Bacon -- crisp
  15       oz           Cream corn
   1 1/2   c            Cheese -- grated

  Cook time: 40 minutes
  
  Have all ingredients at room temperature. Chop the onion and the
  jalapenos finely. Crumble the bacon. Mix together the corn meal,
  flour, soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. In a separate bowl,
  whisk together the buttermilk, beaten eggs, and oil. Add to the dry
  ingredients with a few swift strokes of the mixing spoon. Don't
  beat the dough--just stir enough to moisten all particles. Fold in
  the onion, garlic powder, jalapenos, pimiento, bacon, corn, and
  cheese quickly. Bake in a cast iron skillet in a 400 F oven for 25
  to 30 minutes, until the top is browned and a toothpick tests
  clean.
