# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set the oven to 190°C and lightly grease a 23-centimeter square baking dish or cast iron skillet with butter or oil spray.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniformly blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, and eggs until fully combined.
04 -
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to avoid a dense texture.
05 -
Carefully fold in the corn kernels, chopped jalapeño peppers, and shredded cheddar cheese, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
06 -
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish or skillet, spreading it into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
07 -
While baking, whisk together honey, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth to form the glaze.
08 -
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then drizzle the lime honey glaze evenly over the warm surface, letting it absorb.
09 -
Cut into squares and serve while warm for best flavor and texture.
