Jalapeño Cheddar Farina Bread with Honey Butter

INGREDIENTS

• ⅔ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
  2/3 cup farina ( cream of wheat)
  1 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  1 tbsp baking powder
  1/2 tsp baking soda
  1/2 cup white cane sugar
  1/3 cup light brown sugar
  1/2 cup unsalted browned butter, melted
  2 large eggs
  1 cup buttermilk
  3 tbsp heavy cream
  1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar, shredded
  2 jalapeños, diced and seeds removed

HONEY BUTTER

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tbsp honey
• flaky sea salt on top

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking pan or grease a skillet. Start with brown butter, and cook over medium heat until butter starts to brown ( 5 mins ). Don’t cook too long or it will burn. Set aside and let cool. Have all ingredients prepared and measured out. Mix both flours, farina, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and both sugars in a large bowl. Add in eggs, buttermilk, heavy cream, and browned butter to the same bowl and mix until well incorporated. Using a spatula, mix in cheese and jalapeño. Transfer to a baking pan, add a few slices of jalapeño on top, and sprinkle on some shredded cheese. Bake for 25-28 mins, depending on pan size. Check the center with a toothpick. While baking, whip together butter and honey for spread. After baking, allow to cook in the pan for 15 mins. Brush on honey butter and sprinkle flaky sea salt! Enjoy!
