Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) gluten-free cornmeal
  • 1 cup (140g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk or non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 finely diced fresh jalapeño
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey (for jalapeño honey butter)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) softened butter (for jalapeño honey butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a cast-iron skillet, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and honey. Slowly whisk in melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix.
  5. Carefully remove the preheated cast-iron skillet from the oven and grease it generously with butter or oil.
  6. Pour the batter into the skillet and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the cornbread bakes, mix softened butter, honey, and finely diced jalapeño in a small bowl until smooth to make the jalapeño honey butter.
  8. Let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a generous dollop of jalapeño honey butter.

Notes

[‘Preheat your skillet properly for a crispy golden crust.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cornbread fluffy.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by removing seeds and ribs from the jalapeño.’, ‘Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cornbread.’, ‘Make extra jalapeño honey butter if serving a crowd.’]
