Ingredients
For the Cornbread
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups yellow cornmeal
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 jalapenos ribs and seeds removed, diced
For the Honey Butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1½ Tbsp honey
Instructions
For the Cornbread
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line an 8” square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the edges. Spray parchment with nonstick baking spray. Set pan aside.
- Using a large bowl, add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, add honey, eggs, buttermilk and sour cream; whisk until well combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients; stir until well combined.
- Add melted butter and diced jalapenos; stir until well combined.
- Transfer batter into prepared pan. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out mostly clean.
- Place pan on a wire rack and let cornbread cool (in pan) for at least 15 minutes.
For the Honey Butter
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, stir butter and honey together until creamy. Set honey butter aside. (Note: If needed, feel free to microwave this mixture for 5-10 seconds.)
- Lift cornbread out of pan and cut into squares. Split each square horizontally to create 2 thinner squares.
- Spread honey butter on cut sides of cornbread.
- Grill cornbread cut-side down for 1-2 minutes, or until grill marks appear. (Note: If you don't have a grill, you can sear the cornbread squares in a hot cast iron skillet. It's not quite the same, but it's still delicious!)
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
