This cornbread bakes up golden and tender, studded with melty pockets of sharp cheddar and just enough diced jalapeño to give every square a little kick. The batter comes together quickly with cornmeal for that classic gritty-sweet crumb, a touch of honey for warmth, and a buttermilk base that keeps things moist without any density issues. A generous layer of cheese on top toasts into a slightly crisp, golden crust as it bakes, while the interior stays soft and pillowy. It's an easy one-pan side that pairs perfectly with chili, soup, or barbecue, and it's a solid pick for a vegetarian table. Cut into nine squares, it's shareable, satisfying, and gone fast.
