Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 medium Jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup Canned corn, drained
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cumin, and paprika until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and beaten eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, and corn until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread and serve warm or at room temperature, perfect with butter or as a side to your favorite Cinco de Mayo dishes.
