Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch cake pan or cast iron skillet, and set aside.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Make a well in the center and add the oil, beaten eggs, and milk. Whisk until just moistened and no dry spots remain. Fold in the chopped jalapeños and cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let stand a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- ⅔
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge for about 5 days. To freeze, wrap with plastic wrap and again with aluminum foil and freeze it for 1-2 months.
- For the best taste and texture use a medium grind yellow or white cornmeal.
- Do not over-mix. Fold the cheese and jalapenos so they are evenly distributed.
- Make Mexican cornbread muffins. Fill the tins ⅔ full and bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Use a cast iron skillet to get a crisp golden crust.
