Jalapeño Cornbread Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking the cornbread.

Prepare the Baking Dish

Grease an 8-inch round baking dish or cast iron skillet with butter to prevent the cornbread from sticking.

Combine Dry Ingredients

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

Whisk Wet Ingredients

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

Mix Together

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Fold in Jalapeños

Gently fold in the diced jalapeños until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour Batter into Dish

Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it evenly.

Bake

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool

Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
