Description

These Cornbread Madeleines offer a delightful twist on traditional Southern cornbread, combining the comforting, earthy flavor of yellow cornmeal with a subtle heat from fresh jalapeños. Baked in fluted madeleine molds, they develop a crisp, golden exterior while maintaining a tender, moist crumb inside. The combination of buttermilk and melted butter ensures a rich, satisfying texture that pairs perfectly with chili, soup, or as a standalone snack. Easy to prepare with pantry staples, these mini cornbreads are an excellent addition to appetizer platters or family dinners. Their bite-sized portion makes them ideal for sharing and perfect for controlling serving sizes without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and grease a madeleine pan or mini muffin tins generously.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and the cooled browned cornmeal.
  3. Pulse the dry ingredients for 3-5 seconds until evenly mixed.
  4. Add buttermilk, beaten egg, and melted butter to the processor and blend until smooth.
  5. Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir in the finely chopped, seeded jalapeño pepper.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
