Elevate your cornbread with Mexican Cornbread II, featuring spicy jalapeños and sharp cheddar cheese for a savory twist on a classic side dish.
Ingredients Cornmeal, flour, cheddar cheese, jalapeños, eggs, milk, butter, and seasoning create a zesty cornbread with a kick, perfect for complementing any meal.
In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. These dry ingredients form the base of your flavorful cornbread.
Whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter. This mixture adds moisture and richness to the cornbread, enhancing its texture and flavor.
Fold shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped jalapeños into the batter. These add a spicy, cheesy kick and texture to the cornbread.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients until just mixed. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be lumpy for a tender texture.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top. This ensures even baking and a beautiful golden finish.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm as a side dish with chili, soups, or barbecue, or enjoy as a savory snack.
