CORNBREAD DUTCH OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Light 24 charcoal briquettes or start a campfire if you want to use wood embers. 
• In a mixing bowl, beat the milk, egg, and honey together. Add the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt) and stir until combined.
• Move 7 of the charcoals or embers into a ring and place the Dutch oven on top. Once hot, add the butter to melt. After the butter has melted, pour in the cornmeal batter. Sprinkle the green chiles and cheese over the top.
• Cover the Dutch oven and place the remaining 17 charcoals or embers on top of the lid to create an oven heat of about 425 degrees. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the middle of the cornbread has cooked through and the top is beginning to brown.
• Carefully remove from the heat, serve & enjoy!

• Use few coals under the oven and more on top. Check at ten minutes. Pay attention for signs of rapid cooking down the edges. If the edges appear to be cooking too rapidly, you are in danger of scorching the bottom - move some coals from beneath the oven to the lid, If renewing coals, add to the top first. Rotate the lid and oven 1/4 turn opposite directions when checking bread at ten and twenty minutes. Cornbread is done when firm, golden and cooked through[; twenty-five minutes or so with a hot oven, but it can be twice that if your heat fails.
