Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Green chilies (roasted and diced, canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Sweet corn kernels (optional, drained if canned)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a medium cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well incorporated.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, and melted butter until evenly blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, green chilies, and sweet corn kernels (if using). Make sure the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm for the best flavor!
