Jalapeno and Cheddar Cornbread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus additional for topping
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 cup finely ground cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup canned creamed corn
- 3 small green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 to 3 jalapeno chiles, seeded, deveined and finely chopped
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
- If using an 8-inch-square baking dish instead, simply grease the bottom of the dish with some of the butter and place the remainder in the bottom of the dish.
- Set the skillet or dish aside.
- Sift the flour blend, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda together into a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk and eggs together well.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to thoroughly mix.
- Fold in the cheese, creamed corn, green onions and chiles and stir until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet or baking dish and dab a bit more butter on top.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Leave to cool in the pan or dish a few minutes before slicing and serving while warm.
