Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread Breakfast Delight

Ingredients

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar, shredded
- 1 cup corn kernels (either fresh or thawed frozen)
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, diced

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure the mixture is well-combined to distribute the leavening agents evenly.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat together the melted butter and honey until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the whole milk and sour cream until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Add Flavorful Components:
Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar, corn kernels, and diced pickled jalapeños until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Transfer to Baking Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake the Cornbread:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool further or serve warm straight from the pan. Cut into squares or wedges and enjoy for breakfast!
