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!
