Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow or white cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or increase to ¼ cup if you like your cornbread a little sweeter like me)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups whole buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced (about 3-4 tablespoons) (or sub with ¼ cup jarred sliced jalapenos that you pat dry and chop)
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives or green onions
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place a 9-inch or 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 9-inch round or square cake pan in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 400°F, leaving the skillet or pan in the oven while it heats. Meanwhile, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Stir to combine. Fold in jalapeño, cheese, and chives.
- When the oven has come to temperature, pour the oil into the hot skillet or pan. Use a brush to evenly spread the oil. Pour batter into the hot, greased skillet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Buttermilk Substitute: In a pinch, you can make your own buttermilk at home to use in this recipe. To do so, pour either 1 ½ tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice or 1 ½ tablespoons of white vinegar into a large measuring cup. Add enough whole milk to equal 1 ½ cups of liquid. Give it a stir, let it sit for about 5 minutes, and then use it in the recipe as directed.
