Jalapeño Cornbread with Lime Honey Glaze

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned)
  • 2-3 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Lime Honey Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Zest of 1 lime

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  5. Fold in the corn kernels, chopped jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cornbread bakes, prepare the lime honey glaze by mixing the honey, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl.
  9. Once the cornbread is done, drizzle the lime honey glaze over the top while it’s still warm. Serve and enjoy!
