I don’t mean to brag but I still make my favorite corn bread around, and now you get to get in on my secrets in this Skillet Jalapeño Corn Bread Recipe.
I prefer to add a little more sugar than in a normal corn bread recipe just to help sweeten things up a bit. Since corn bread is so popular with things like BBQ and ham and bean soup I think it makes a lot of sense to have a sweet corn bread to offset all of those salty food items. If for some reason you aren’t into spicy foods like jalapeños, then simply do away with it in this recipe.
However, the few things you don’t want to miss are the whipped butter I put on top along with the honey and volcano salt. What do you mean you don’t have volcanic salt?! Ok just use regular Kosher salt if you don’t have volcanic salt. Either way this recipe’s a winner!
