Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) fine cornmeal
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ancho chile powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup roasted corn
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and honey together until completely smooth and thick. Then, whisk in the egg until combined. Finally, whisk in the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Gently fold in the roasted corn and cotija.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and the center is cooked through. Use a toothpick to test. Edges should be crispy at this point. Allow to slightly cool before slicing and serving. Serve cornbread with butter, honey, jam, or whatever you like.
Wrap leftovers up tightly and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
