Jalapeño Cornbread

What do we have here?

I took a regular cornbread recipe and added some chopped jalapeño peppers. Why? Well, does one need a special reason to make jalapeño cornbread? ;)

But, we actually did have a reason. Whatever did we use it for?

Stay tuned.

Wait no more!

Recipe
Cornbread
from Martha Stewart Living 1999
http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/cornbread

Makes 1 eight-inch square loaf

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
2 large eggs

[eatingclub] note:
Simply add chopped jalapeño peppers to the batter, however many you like.

Heat oven to 425 degrees.with rack in center. Butter an 8-inch-square baking pan, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until frothy. Pour the milk-and-egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are just incorporated. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy. Pour the batter into prepared pan.

Cook until top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out dry, 20 to 25 minutes.
