Monica’s Cornbread Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

3. 3

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced jalapeno and shredded fontina cheese.

5. 5

   Bake

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Prepare Hot Honey Butter

   In a small bowl, mix together the honey and softened butter until creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.

7. 7

   Serve

   Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with the hot honey butter on the side.
