Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Corn kernels
  • 2 large jalapeno peppers
  • 1/4 cup green onions
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp Additional cheese
  • 1 tbsp Additional diced jalapeno
  • 1 tbsp Additional green onion

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt. Gently fold in grated cheese, corn, diced jalapenos and scallions until well distributed.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, honey, butter and eggs. Pour over dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Coat inside of a 7 inch cake pan with non-stick spray and dust with additional cornmeal. Spoon batter into prepared pan and top with ~ 1 tbsp each cheese, diced jalapeno and green onion.
  4. Spray one side of a piece of aluminum foil and cover the pan loosely, sprayed side down - do not seal.
  5. Pour 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot and insert the trivet. Carefully lower the cake pan on to the trivet and secure the lid, making sure vent is closed.
  6. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- buttons and program the Instant Pot for 30 minutes.
  7. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  8. Remove the pan and set it under the broiler until golden, 2-4 minutes (optional).

Notes

*If your Instant Pot does not have a MANUAL function, use the Pressure Cook function.
