How to Make Cornbread Sticks
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Generously grease mini cornbread molds or muffin tins with oil or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup dark brown sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups buttermilk, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup finely chopped bell pepper (or jalapeno, or both!), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon Louisiana hot sauce (or ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste).
- Place the prepared molds in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot molds from the oven. Evenly divide the batter among the molds, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly in the molds before carefully removing with a sharp knife. Serve warm.
