These muffins work well as a side too.
[…] & Cheese is soul food at its best. Serve it as a side along with some jalapeño cornbread at your next barbecue […]
I had cornmeal in the pantry so looked at a lot of cornbread recipes and this was one of the simplest I could find with everyday ingredients, 2 bowls and no fancy equipment.
I made them for the whole family so left the jalapenos out but added some dried herbs and spices instead for extra flavour. I was also out of baking soda so used extra baking powder instead (1:3 ratio) and only had 1/2 cup sour cream so added 1/2 cup creme fraiche to complete. The muffins turned out great, had a nice height to them, crumbly, beautiful!
Will definitely make them again 🙂
