Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Jalapeño Cornbread with Lime Honey Glaze:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until fully blended. Add the diced jalapeños and stir to combine.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish or skillet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Prepare Lime Honey Glaze: While the cornbread is baking, combine the honey, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.
7. Cool and Glaze: Once the cornbread is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the lime honey glaze over the warm cornbread before serving.
