Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Recipe


Ingredients:


  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 2-3 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional for a sweet twist)


Directions:


  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a cast-iron skillet or 9x9-inch baking dish.

  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.

  4. Add the Cheese and Jalapeños: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños, saving a few slices of jalapeños to place on top for decoration.

  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or dish. Top with reserved jalapeño slices and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Serve: Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing and serve with the Honey Jalapeño Lime Butter for a fun and flavorful finish!
