Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set aside 1 tablespoon of jalapeno for topping the bread.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  4. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Fold in the cheese and jalapenos. Set aside.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon butter to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place it in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until warmed and the butter is melted.
  6. Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with the reserved jalapenos.
  7. Bake 23 to 27 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • If you do not have a 10" skillet, grease an 8x8 pan well. Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Buttermilk substitute: Buttermilk adds flavor and helps cornbread rise nicely. If you don’t have buttermilk, place 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar in a 1 cup measuring cup. Fill to 1 cup with milk and stir. Let rest 5 minutes to thicken slightly, and use in place of buttermilk.
