Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces fresh jalapenos, finely diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup canned corn kernels, drained
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or an 8-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined.
Slowly whisk in the melted butter, followed by the buttermilk, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced jalapenos, shredded cheddar cheese, and canned corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it out evenly.
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.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
