This recipe for cornbread adds a unique twist with the addition of cheddar cheese and spicy red hot chili peppers, giving it a delightful mix of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour

90g

1/4 cup sugar

50g

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup cheddar cheese

100g

2 red hot chili peppers

80g

1 cup buttermilk

230g

1 egg

50g

2 tbsp butter

30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Add the cheese and chili peppers: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped red hot chili peppers into the dry mixture. This step ensures that the cheese and peppers are evenly distributed throughout the cornbread.

4. Whisk the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.

6. Transfer to the baking dish: Pour the batter into the pre-greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly in the dish.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and serve: Allow the cornbread to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips:

- Make sure your buttermilk and egg are at room temperature to ensure even mixing and better texture.

- For a spicier version, leave the seeds in the chili peppers. For a milder cornbread, remove the seeds.

- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best results, as pre-shredded cheese often contains preservatives that can affect the texture.

- Preheat your oven and your baking dish to get a nice crust on your cornbread.

- Rest the batter for a few minutes before baking to allow the ingredients to fully combine and expand.

Enjoy your freshly baked cornbread warm out of the oven. The combination of cheddar cheese's creaminess and the chili peppers' heat creates a delicious contrast that is sure to become a favorite. Serve it alongside your favorite meals, or enjoy it on its own as a flavorful snack.
