Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
2 tablespoons honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.

Mix the dry ingredients:

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

Combine the wet ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey (if using).

Incorporate the wet ingredients:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Add the cheese and jalapenos:

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeno peppers into the batter.

Transfer the batter:

Pour the batter into the greased baking dish or cast-iron skillet, spreading it evenly.

Bake the cornbread:

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve:

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the dish for a few minutes.
Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm.
