Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Canned corn kernels (drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Jalapeño peppers (seeded and finely diced)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to evenly combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños 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 in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy with butter, honey, or as a side to your favorite Mexican dishes!
