Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • honey (for serving (optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x9” baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large liquid measuring cup or bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chipotle chili powder. Whisk or blend with a fork, then set aside.
  • Add buttermilk and egg to the melted butter, and whisk or blend with a fork until the liquid mixture is smooth. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing bowl with the dry, and fold together just until evenly combined. Gently fold in the cheddar.
  • Scrape the batter out into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, just until the cornbread is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
