Spicy Cornbread

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chopped jalapeño. Stir until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cornbread

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Make Honey Butter

    While the cornbread is baking, whip together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1/4 cup of honey in a small bowl until light and fluffy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm with honey butter.
