Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the cornbread evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Dish

    Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and diced jalapenos until smooth.

  3. 5

    Mix Together

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Cornbread

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro on top. 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.

Cooling and Serving

  1. 7

    Cool the Cornbread

    Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before cutting.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally with butter or honey.
