How to Make Baby's Jalapeo Cheese Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) with a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon honey.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Finely chop 1 cup of jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat).
  6. Add the chopped jalapeños and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter. Stir gently.
  7. Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Lightly grease the bottom and sides with cooking oil (about 1 teaspoon).
  8. Pour half of the batter into the hot, greased skillet.
  9. Sprinkle half of the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese over the batter.
  10. Pour the remaining batter over the cheese, and top with the remaining cheese.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  12. Turn off the oven and leave the cornbread in the oven for an additional 15 minutes with the door slightly ajar. This helps it set and prevents cracking.
  13. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
