Yogurt Cornbread

Yogurt Cornbread

Inspired by my black-eyed pea salsa, I decided to make this yogurt cornbread. This is a nice moist and easy-to-make cornbread, with a bit of a kick because of the addition of jalapeño peppers.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup unbleached white flour or light spelt flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
  • Generously butter an 8-inch round cake pan and set aside. Preheat an oven to 425°.

  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, jalapeño and cayenne in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the bowl.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, yogurt and butter. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and bake or 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the bread. Let sit for 15 minutes and cut into wedges and serve.

  9. Baking this in a cast iron skillet in a tablespoon or so of butter or ghee will make it even more scrumptious!
