Corn Bread

Hot Honey

Honey Butter

Method

Corn Bread

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Prepare Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced jalapenos.

  5. 5

    Bake the Corn Bread

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Hot Honey

  1. 7

    Prepare Hot Honey

    While the cornbread is baking, combine honey and sliced jalapeno in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.

  2. 8

    Strain

    Remove from heat, strain out the jalapenos, and set the hot honey aside.

Honey Butter

  1. 9

    Make Honey Butter

    In a small bowl, combine softened butter and honey. Mix until smooth and creamy.
