Luby's Jalapeno Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
For The Cornbread:
- 1 cup of cornmeal
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2-3 fresh jalapenos finely diced
For The Topping:
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons of honey
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating up, place a cast-iron skillet or baking dish inside to get it nice and hot.
Step 2: Prepare The Cornbread Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients until well combined.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Step 4: Incorporate The Jalapenos
- Fold the finely diced jalapenos into the batter. The more jalapenos you add, the spicier your cornbread will be, so adjust to your preference.
Step 5: Bake The Cornbread
- Carefully remove the hot skillet or baking dish from the oven and add the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter to it. Swirl the butter around to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
- Pour your cornbread batter into the hot skillet or dish. This will create a beautifully crispy crust. Place it back in the oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Glaze With Honey
- While the cornbread is still hot, drizzle it with 2 tablespoons of honey for that perfect touch of sweetness.
