Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or skillet with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the drained corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeño if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
