Servings: 14 slices
Calories: 210kcal
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/3 cup diced hatch chiles
- 2/3 cup corn gently squeezed to remove excess moisture
- 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Spray or lightly butter an 8x8-inch glass or metal baking pan and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and honey. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, beating until the mixture is smooth. Add the buttermilk and mix to combine.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, along with the chiles and corn, stirring with a spatula until only a few lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the spatula to create an even layer. Allow the batter to sit for 3 minutes before placing it in the oven to bake.
- Bake for 27–35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. You may need to place a piece of foil over the top at the 20-minute mark to prevent over-browning. Remove from the oven, brush the top with butter, and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-I used freshly roasted Hatch chiles, but canned works too!
