Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup frozen or canned corn kernels, drained
- 1 sliced jalapeños (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and corn kernels until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Optional: Place sliced jalapeños on top for added flavor and a decorative touch.
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.
Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
