Famous Dave’s Cornbread With Jalapeno Honey Glaze

Recipe #153191 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 12 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: mrib

This is BY FAR the best cornbread I have ever had. I got it from a special section of the Minnesota Monthly Magazine a few years back. I had a lot of the glaze left over, so you can easily make ½ of the glaze recipe and have enough. I made cornbread in a 9x13 inch pan and it was fully cooked in 25 minutes, which would lead me to believe that cooking time for the muffin tins may need to be reduced (I recommend checking after 15-18 minutes). Enjoy!

    I hate to be the only one leaving an unfavorable rating, but I just couldn't get this recipe to work for me. We eat at Famous Dave's regularly, and I love their cornbread, but this didn't remind me anything of it. I followed the recipe directions exactly, however my corn bread was very corn-mealy and not light and moist. We also didn't care for the glaze--more hot than sweet--at FD the glaze is quite sweet with no hit of hot. The recipe itself was not all that hard to make, but I guess I was expecting something a little different than what I got. Thanks for sharing though.

    I just made this for Cinco De Mayo. EXCELLENT!! Very moist and flavorful. I don't like most corn breads - too dry and I don't care for the texture. This recipe is great. The glaze is the finishing touch. I also served with Downey's honey butter! This recipe is a keeper!! 5/5/07 update I made this again for Cinco de Mayo. This is an excellent recipe. Best corn bread by far!!!

    Outstanding and decadent cornbread, lovecookin #2. The store I stopped in at didn't have the 9oz cake mixes, just the regular 18oz mixes. I divided one of those in half so I've got cake mix on hand for the next batch, and there will be more of this cornbread. Dh thinks it would be great at Christmas. I mixed the mayonnaise with the other liquids, baked in a ten inch iron skillet in 25 minutes, and took your suggestion to use just 1/2 the glaze recipe. Next time I'll use the entire thing-I think it helps make and keep the cornbread moist.

    I honestly couldn't decide if I was eating cornbread or cake. Regardless, this was scrumptious! I baked this in two small cast iron skillets so I could omit the cayenne for my smaller children. I added the cayenne for my son and myself. The bread was sweet and spicy, just a wonderful combination of flavors. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
