# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab your favorite 9-inch square baking dish or cast iron skillet and give it a good coating of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until everything's well mixed. This creates the base that gives your cornbread that perfect texture.
03 -
In another bowl, pour in your buttermilk, add the melted butter (make sure it's not too hot!), and crack in those eggs. Whisk everything together until you've got a smooth, consistent mixture.
04 -
Now for the magic - pour those wet ingredients into your bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently just until everything comes together. Remember, the secret to tender cornbread is not overmixing!
05 -
Gently fold in the corn kernels, those spicy chopped jalapenos, and the shredded cheddar cheese. Distribute everything evenly through the batter for the perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
06 -
Pour your batter into the prepared baking dish, making sure it's spread evenly. Pop it into your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top turns a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the center.
07 -
While your cornbread fills the kitchen with amazing aromas, quickly whisk together the honey, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth. This glaze adds the perfect sweet-tangy finish to your cornbread.
08 -
Once baked, let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. While it's still warm, drizzle that gorgeous lime honey glaze all over the top, letting it soak into the cornbread. Cut into squares and serve while still warm for an absolutely irresistible treat!
