Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Whisk until well blended.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the finely diced jalapeño into the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cornbread comes out clean.

Step 8

While the cornbread is baking, prepare the jalapeño honey glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of butter together. Stir in the finely minced jalapeño and simmer for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.

Step 9

When the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
