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.
