Jalapeño Cornbread

My tried and true cornbread, a perfect blend of sweet with heat. 

It is moist, buttery, and with a kick of fresh jalapeños, it is a comforting and a rustic treat that brings a touch of warmth to any meal.

Step 3

Lightly whisk eggs in a medium bowl, add in creamed corn, jalapeños and grated cheeses.


Step 4

Mix butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon just until butter absorbs sugar.
