Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 medium Jalapeños (diced, seeds removed for less heat)
- 6 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish, 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 in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with a drizzle of honey or as a side to your favorite meal.
