Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 10-inch round pan or 18 standard muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Get two big mixing bowls. In one, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. In the other, whisk the honey, buttermilk, eggs and peppers.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and stir in the liquid mixture. When the liquid is incorporated, mix in the butter.
- Pour into the pan or divide among the muffin cups, filling them to within 1/2 inch of the top. For a 10-inch pan, bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For muffins, bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Also, if you want to sneak some shredded cheddar or mozz on top before baking, I won't tell.

CORNBREAD WITH JALAPENO PEPPERS
An absolutely incredible cornbread recipe! I don't remember where I found this one but it was while I was in grad school. I invited the crew over and made this recipe to accompany a pot of chili. All I can say is that it was excellent and much enjoyed! If there are leftovers, excellent reheated or toasted. A lot of ingredients but.... yummmmmm!
