JalapeƱo Cornbread is a spicy twist on classic cornbread, featuring the heat of jalapeƱos and sweet corn for a perfect side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Ā¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Ā½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Ā½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ā…“ cup melted butter (or neutral oil)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
  • 1ā€“2 fresh jalapeƱos, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • Ā½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400Ā°F (200Ā°C). Grease an 8Ɨ8-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet and set it aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth and fully blended.
  4. Fold in the corn kernels and diced jalapeƱos, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. If using cheese, gently fold it in at this stage as well.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20ā€“25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set and improves texture.
