Mexican Cornbread with Jalapeños & Cheddar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

🔥 Preheat & Prepare:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.

🥣 Mix Dry Ingredients:

3. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

🥛 Combine Wet Ingredients:

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

🌀 Make the Batter:

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix—it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

🌽 Fold in the Flavor:

6. Gently fold in corn, jalapeños, cheese, red bell pepper, and cilantro until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
