Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup canned whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeños (fresh or jarred)
- 0.25 cup sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, melted butter, egg, and sour cream until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Gently fold in the drained corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
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
Allow the cornbread to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with butter or as a side to your favorite Mexican-inspired meals.
