This Jalapeño Cornbread recipe makes a moist cornbread. If you don’t like spicy, leave out the jalapeño. For something a little different, use it to make cornbread stuffing during the Holidays.
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place rack in middle of the oven. With the butter, generously coat a 10 x 15-inch baking pan or 11-inch cast iron skillet.
- Coarsely blend 2 cups of the corn kernels with 2 tablespoons of buttermilk. It should have the consistency of a chunky cream. Reserve the rest.
- In a large bowl combine all the ingredients except the butter. Mix well.
- Put the prepared baking pan in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the butter has melted. Remove from the oven and quickly pour in the batter.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the cornbread begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 cups stone ground cornmeal
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons minced jalapeño, or to taste
- ⅓ cup grape seed oil, or other neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

You can make substitute buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, or 1 teaspoon of cream of Tartar to 1 cup of regular milk.
