Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use masa harina, which is a type of corn flour made from dried corn.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the cornbread. This will help it rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. The recipe in the article includes jalapeño peppers and cheddar cheese, but you can add anything you like. Some other popular mix-ins include bacon, crumbled sausage, diced tomatoes, and corn kernels.
  • Serve the cornbread warm. Cornbread is best when it's fresh out of the oven, but it can also be reheated in the microwave or oven.

Conclusion:

Cornbread with jalapeño and cheddar cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
