Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 4 ounces canned diced green chiles, drained
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite chili for a delicious treat.
