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 Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Canned corn kernels (drained)
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (chopped)
- 6 slices Cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels, chipotle peppers, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan or skillet, spreading it out evenly 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.
Serve warm, with additional butter or honey if desired. Enjoy the smoky, spicy, and savory flavors of your Chipotle Bacon Cornbread!
