Ingredients
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt
1 hot chile pepper, such as serrano, Fresno or jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a10-inch cast-iron skillet into the oven to heat.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add the sliced peppers and toss to coat.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and add 1 stick of the butter to the skillet to melt. Pour into a bowl. Add the buttermilk, eggs and 1/2 cup of the honey to the bowl and whisk together. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry mix, then pour the combined batter into the hot skillet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
- While the cornbread is cooling, mix the remaining stick of butter and 1/4 cup honey with the cayenne and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until completely combined.
- Serve the cornbread with the hot honey.
