Description

This is the moist, dense, slightly sweet cornbread of your dreams.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 stick of organic butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 organic eggs (use local eggs whenever possible)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 14.75 ounce can of creamed corn
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup grated aged white cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh jalapeno, seeds removed (approximately 2 large jalapenos)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8×8? ovenproof baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugar. Beat in the eggs until combined. Add the buttermilk and creamed corn and stir to combine.
  3. In a separate large bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to combine. Add the buttermilk/egg mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated cheddar cheese and minced jalapenos.
  4. Pour batter evenly into the greased baking dish and place on the middle rack in oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick placed in center of cornbread comes out clean. You may have to cover the baking dish loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to ensure the top of the cornbread does not burn.
