Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Canned chopped green chiles, drained
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green chiles, sour cream, and cilantro (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm on its own or as a side with chili, barbecue, or soup for a delicious meal.
