Description

A sweet, spicy, and irresistibly moist twist on classic cornbread. This jalapeno cornbread is finished with a zesty lime honey glaze that adds a glossy, citrusy finish to every bite.


Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup melted butter

12 jalapenos, finely chopped (plus slices for garnish)

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon lime zest

Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in chopped jalapenos.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. In a small saucepan, warm honey, lime juice, and zest over low heat until combined.
  7. Let cornbread cool slightly. Drizzle glaze over the top. Garnish with jalapeno slices and cilantro if using.
