🧈🔥 *DENSE JALAPEÑO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD (Cast Iron Skillet)*

*INGREDIENTS (Fits an 8-10 inch skillet):*

• 2 cups (250g) All-Purpose Flour
• 2 cups (280g) Cornmeal (medium or fine grind)
• 3/4 cup (150g) White Sugar
• 2 tsp Baking Soda (not baking powder!)
• 2 tsp Salt
• 2 cups (480ml) @OntarioButtermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup (225g) unsalted Butter, melted (divided)
• 1 cup (120g) sharp Cheddar Cheese, diced
• 1/4 cup (30g) Jalapeños, finely diced (plus extra slices for topping)
• 3 tbsp Honey, for drizzling

*METHOD (Do Not Overmix!):*

1. *DRY MIX:* In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
2. *WET MIX:* Make a well in the center. Pour in buttermilk, eggs, and 2/3 of the melted butter. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined (some lumps are okay!).
3. *FOLD-INS:* Halfway through mixing, fold in diced cheddar and jalapeños. Do not overmix – this keeps it tender.
4. *PREP SKILLET:* Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place your cast iron skillet inside to heat up for 5 minutes. Carefully remove, add 1 tbsp of the remaining butter, and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
5. *BAKE:* Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Top with a few jalapeño slices. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. *FINISH:* Immediately upon removing from the oven, drizzle with honey and brush with the remaining melted butter. This creates a sticky, sweet glaze.
7. *SERVE:* Let cool in the skillet for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

*Pro Tip:* The hot cast iron skillet gives the bottom and edges an incredible crispy crust.
