LAUGH OF THE WEEK:
STUFF THAT MAKES US CURL BETTER:
How to curl in 2 minutes – just in case you forgot!
RECIPES AROUND THE RINGS:
Jalapeño Cornbread
My favorite cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread has hints of sweet and spice, is extra moist and flavorful, and a fun twist on traditional cornbread. Serve it as side dish with soup or chili.
PREP 15 MINUTES
COOK 25 MINUTES
TOTAL 40 MINUTES
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter , melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk)
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 eggs
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers , seeded and minced
- 1 heaping cup shredded cheddar or pepperjack cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl mix together the melted butter, buttermilk, and honey until well combined. Whisk in the eggs.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Stir in the jalapeño peppers and shredded cheese. Do not over mix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour into a greased 8’’ pan and bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Notes
To Store: Allow to cool, then cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To Freeze: Freeze baked and cooled cornbread in an airtight freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and rewarm in the microwave or covered with foil on low heat in the oven.
Cornbread Muffins: Divide batter into greased or lined muffin pan cups. Bake for around 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Makes 12 muffins.
Skillet Cornbread: Baking cornbread in a skillet gives it a delicious crisp crust. Bake this cornbread in a 9-inch or 10-inch oven safe greased skillet at the same temperature for the same amount of time.
