Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 cup yellow cornmeal (I like medium grind for the texture)
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 cup low-fat buttermilk (at room temperature; or 1 cup 2% milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar)
1 1/2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar, cheddar jack, or pepper jack cheese, or a mix (divided)
1 (7-ounce) can Mexican-style corn (drained (about 1 cup))
1 large jalapeño pepper (seeded, membranes removed, and minced)
2 green onions (chopped, divided (about 1/4 cup))

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two opposite sides like handles. Lightly coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large, separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the eggs to the bowl with the melted butter and whisk until blended. Stir in the buttermilk and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and, by hand, stir gently just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Gently stir in 1 cup of the cheese, corn, jalapeño peppers, and half of the green onions. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining green onions and 1/2 cup cheese on top. Bake the cornbread for 28 to 32 minutes, or until center is set, the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan, then using the parchment paper, lift it onto a cutting board. For tidy slicing, let cool completely. For warm, messy slices, cut right away and enjoy!

CHEESY MEXICAN CORNBREAD

I made this just recently, it is fabulous... and yes, 5 teaspoons baking powder! If you do have any leftovers, this freezes well. This can also be baked successfully in muffin tins, you will get about 27-28 muffins, be sure to adjust baking time. If you want to boost up the heat, add in some cayenne pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal. For the best flavor and texture, use a medium-grind cornmeal. Avoid using fine-grind cornmeal, as it will produce a dense, crumbly bread.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cornbread will taste. Use fresh corn kernels, buttermilk, and eggs for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. The cornbread should be baked in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the cornbread cool before serving. Allow the cornbread to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the bread to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Mexican cornbread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
