Jalapeno Cornbread with Honey Butter
Jalapeno Cornbread with Honey Butter
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. I made this on 2 Aug 2020 and it is delicious!
Ingredients
For the Cornbread
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup pale ale
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 fresh Jalapeno peppers, seeded, finely diced
For the Honey Butter
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200° C (400° F) and grease a 7x11 baking pan with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and whisk to mix together.
- In a medium bowl, add the ale, oil, buttermilk, eggs, and jalapenos, and whisk together.
- Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until the flour mixture is just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- While the cornbread is cooling, prepare the Honey Butter by adding the Honey Butter ingredients to a small bowl and stirring until smooth.
- Cut cornbread into squares and serve as a side dish with the honey butter. Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.

I made this as written on 2 Aug 2020, and it is good! The family that tried it really enjoyed it. The jalapeno imparts a good flavor, and the ale, very little flavor but I think it contributes to the overall taste of the cornbread. I will be making this again. I did change the pan size on the recipe from 8×8 to 7×11 for a more even cooking of the bread.
Very good cornbread and very easy to put together. :))
Thank you, Samantha, for being the first to test out this recipe, this will be a must do for me in the next few weeks 🙂
