Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit Egg, large
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1 unit Jalapeño, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the sweet corn kernels, diced jalapeño, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cornbread cool in the dish for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Optional: Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a spread of butter for extra flavor.
