Tips:

  • Use fresh jalapenos for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh jalapenos, you can use canned or jarred jalapenos, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • If you like your corn sticks spicy, you can add more jalapenos to the batter. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Be sure to grease your corn stick pan well before filling it with batter. This will help the corn sticks to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Fill the corn stick pan about halfway full with batter. This will allow the corn sticks to rise and cook properly.
  • Bake the corn sticks at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help them to get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Serve the corn sticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, sour cream, or salsa are all great options.

Conclusion:

Cheddar jalapeno corn sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their cheesy, spicy flavor and crispy texture, cheddar jalapeno corn sticks are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
