Hatch Green Chile Cornbread
Hatch Green Chile Cornbread combines classic yellow cornmeal and all-purpose flour with chopped roasted hatch chiles for a spicy, moist quick bread. It uses baking powder and soda to rise, while buttermilk adds tang and moisture. The cornbread bakes to a golden crust and soft crumb, accented by sweet and smoky green chiles.

Ingredients
dry ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal yellow
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
wet ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup hatch chiles hot, mild, or a mix plus a few more for sprinkling on top, chopped, roasted
Instructions
- Set oven to 400F
- Lightly butter a 9 or 10 inch tart pan, or cake pan. If you are going to want to remove it from the pan for slicing, line the bottom with a piece of parchment.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs, buttermilk, and cooled butter together. Stir in the chiles.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing just until combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top with a few extra chopped chiles.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until risen, browned along the edges, and done in the center. You can check with a toothpick. Cool on a rack or serve hot from the pan.
- If you are removing from the pan, let cool for about 15 minutes before carefully inverting the pan. It should slide out easily.
- Slice into squares or wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.
