Bacon Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread image

This bacon jalapeño cornbread is the result of combining a number of my favorite cornbread recipes. The first time I made it, I had people begging for the recipe. The problem was that it didn't exist, as I had just improvised it as I went along. Here's my attempt to put it down in words.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

5 slices bacon
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup milk
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3 jalapeno peppers, diced

Steps:

Fry bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve remaining bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the skillet with bacon grease in the oven.
Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, buttermilk, butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Fold in Cheddar cheese and jalapeño peppers. Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Pour batter into the hot skillet; sprinkle with crumbled bacon, gently pressing bacon into batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

For crispy cheddar cakes, use cold ingredients and grated cheese. Chilling the dough before frying helps the cakes hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the cakes in batches. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the cakes cook evenly.
Cook the cakes over medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve the cheddar cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are also great as a snack or appetizer.
