Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced jalapeños.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped butter, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a drizzle of honey.
