Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup butter melted, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
- 1 cup buttermilk or soured milk, see notes
- 2 medium jalapeños seeded and diced or 4 oz canned diced jalapenos
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set aside 1 tablespoon of jalapeno for topping the bread.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
- Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Fold in the cheese and jalapenos. Set aside.
- 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.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with the reserved jalapenos.
- 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.
