Equipment

  • Electric Mixer
  • 8x8 Baking Dish or Pan or 9x9 baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 3/4 cup Cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 2 Jalapeño Peppers seeded and chopped

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat the oven to 400º F and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish or pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar. Place the softened butter with the sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until a light and fluffy texture forms.
  • Add the eggs. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and mix in the eggs one at a time until just incorporated.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients and liquids. Mix in the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and baking soda. Once fully incorporated add the buttermilk and honey.
  • Stir in the jalapeños and cheese. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and jalapeños and stir until fully mixed.
  • Bake. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the center has set.

Notes

Storage and Freezing Instructions:

  • To Store: After cooling, cover the jalapeño cornbread with either plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Keep it at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate for a maximum of 1 week for prolonged freshness.
  • To Freeze: For extended storage, freeze the baked and cooled cornbread in a securely sealed, freezer-safe bag or container for a duration of up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, and for reheating, use the microwave or warm it covered with foil at low heat in the oven.
