Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup honey , divided
- 3 jalapeños , seeded and cut into rings
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs , lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup corn kernels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Add 1/4 cup of the butter and 1/4 cup of the honey to a small microwave-safe bowl and heat at 30 second increments, stirring between each, until butter is fully melted.
- Pour the melted honey butter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Wearing gloves, place the jalapenos in the honey butter in a single layer. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and the remaining 1/4 cup of the honey.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until no dry spots remain, but do not overmix.
- Fold in the corn.
- Pour over the jalapenos in the prepared pan, spreading flat with a spatula. Tap several times on the counter to released bubbles.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and it passes the toothpick test.
- Allow the pan to cool for 5 minutes before topping with a plate or serving platter and carefully (and quickly) inverting.
- Slice and serve.
