Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, self-rising flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and whole milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, red leicester cheese, and chopped jalapenos into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- As soon as it's out of the oven pour the honey on top of the dish.
- Allow the cornbread to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool (if you can wait!)
- Once cooled, you can cut the cornbread into squares or slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious and cheesy jalapeño cornbread!
