Cornbread Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Preheat the Oven

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

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

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

4

Combine Mixtures

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

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

Serve

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