Ingredients

- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup pure honey plus 2 tbsp
- 1 stick butter half melted, and the other half softened

- Place the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well, then add in the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Pour 2 tsp of vegetable oil into a saucepan and turn the heat up to medium. Place the diced jalapenos into the pan, and cook until they soften. Set aside.
- Pour the honey into the cornbread batter, then toss in the diced jalapenos. Fold in until well combined.
- Spray a 9x11 bake dish with baking spray and pour the cornbread batter into the dish.
- Bake on 400 for 20-25 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add 1/2 stick of butter and 2 tbsp of honey. Mix until it's nice and creamy.
- Remove the cornbread from the oven and brush on the honey and butter mixture.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to cool and allow the honey butter to soak into the cornbread, then serve!
