This cornbread was really good. The Jalapeno was a nice touch too. I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I removed it and just doubled the amount of jalapeno for some added spice. Try not to rub your eyes after handling it... *ouch*

Wow, this is the best cornbread I've EVER made (or tasted). A huge hit, easy to make and the jalapeno was lovely (I did remove the seeds as I don't like the heat). Dill and cilantro - never added that before and it adds so much flavor. I also love that it makes a bit batch. It sure does make a wonderful meal alongside a bowl of chili. THANKS AGAIN.

Hi Judy... try this out with the left-over cornbread. It's great!

Can I use blue cornmeal in the recipe? I am hosting a halloween party and would love to serve the blue cornbread with my pumpkin chili. I've never used blue cornmeal, but I imagine the visual effect would be great for the party!

You should be totally fine in this recipe to substitute blue for yellow cornmeal.

Sounds like it will be a fun Halloween at your house!

I love this website and have tried many of the recipes with great success.

I was just wondering by any chance if there is a typo with regard to the amount of baking powder? 2 2/3 tbsp (tablespoons, right?) baking powder seems like a huge amount to me - I haven't tried to make this yet but was planning on doing so this evening.

Thanks!

The amount of baking powder is correct, but now that I look at it, I see that it is sort of an odd amount. I will make it again very soon and try adjusting the amount to come up with a more even number, just to make it easier on my brain :-) Cheers!
