Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
¾ cup flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt
Add in wet ingredients (including 2 tbsp honey) and mix until just combined. Don't overmix, or the cornbread won't be as crumbly and soft!
2 eggs, 1 ½ cup buttermilk, 1 stick butter, 4 tbsp honey
Add the solid ingredients and gently mix until mostly evenly distributed. Again, we don't want to overmix!
1 cup corn kernels, 1 jalapeno, 1 ½ cup cheddar cheese
Oil a springform pan with cooking oil and pour the batter into the pan. Gently tap the bottom of the pan to encourage the batter to fill the bottom of the pan evenly.
cooking oil
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top of the cornbread is golden brown and the center of the loaf is no longer jiggly. While the cornbread is still hot, use a basting brush to spread 1-2 tbsp honey over the top of the loaf.
4 tbsp honey
