Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup chopped onion
1 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (lightly packed) grated Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeños (about 6 ounces)
1 1/3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed, drained
1/2 cup drained chopped roasted red peppers from jar
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients and stir until blended. Mix in cheese, corn, red peppers, basil and onion. Transfer to prepared pan.

  • Cut corn bread into squares.

This cornbread is a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try it again with more milk.

This cornbread is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less cayenne pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cornbread turned out dense and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was skeptical about the basil-roasted peppers in cornbread, but I was pleasantly surprised! They add a subtle sweetness and complexity that pairs perfectly with the savory cheese.
