Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar

  • 1-2 large fresh jalapeños minced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9x9 pan or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Add the oil, egg, and buttermilk to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined with a few lumps remaining.
  5. Fold in the cheddar, corn, and jalapeno.
  6. Spread mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You may use any type of cheese you prefer. Pepperjack adds a little extra heat.
  • We don’t like our cornbread very spicy, so we usually just do 1 jalapeno and remove the ribs and seed when mincing it. For extra heat, use extra jalapeno and leave the ribs and seeds in when chopping.
  • Make your own buttermilk at home by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 2% or whole milk. Let sit for 5 minutes, stir, and use as buttermilk.
