How to Make Famous Daves Cornbread With Jalapeno Honey Glaze

**Cornbread:**
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease muffin tins, a cast-iron skillet, or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped jalapenos.
Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and results in a more tender crumb.
Spoon the cold batter into the prepared pan(s), filling each muffin tin approximately 2/3 full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes for a 9x13 inch pan, or 15-18 minutes for muffin tins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before drizzling with the warm jalapeño honey glaze.
**Jalapeño Honey Glaze:**
In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeños and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. The jalapeños should be soft but still vibrant in color.
Remove from heat and drizzle over the warm cornbread.
