Jalapeno & Cheddar Cornbread

Preheat your oven to 425 F with the rack in the center position. Grease an 8 x 8 baking dish and set aside.

In a large bowl mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl mix together the beaten egg, milk and melted butter.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Pour into your prepared baking pan and if you want to make plain cornbread, stick it in the oven and bake according to the below instructions and you’re done.

If you want to make the jalapeno and cheddar version, continue on. Drizzle the honey evenly over the top of the cornbread batter in the pan then sprinkle the minced jalapeno over that. Lastly top with the cheddar cheese evenly sprinkled all over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is browned slightly. Move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice into squares and serve!
