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!

1 cup self-rising cornmeal

Nutrition Facts : Calories 72.4, Fat 1.4, SaturatedFat 0.4, Cholesterol 27.7, Sodium 231.1, Carbohydrate 12.2, Fiber 1, Sugar 1.5, Protein 3.1

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels: Fresh corn kernels give the cornbread a sweeter, more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will give the cornbread a crispy, golden-brown crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but the cornbread will not be as crispy.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving so that it has a chance to set. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

Conclusion:

Mexican cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, sweet or savory, there's a Mexican cornbread recipe out there for you.
