Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Cast iron skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 Cups Cornmeal
  • 1 Cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 0.5 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1.5 Cups Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 0.5 Cup Butter
  • 2 Jalapeños
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This gets the oven hot and ready.
  • Grease your cast iron skillet with butter. This stops the bread from sticking.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix them until well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the bowl. Stir them slowly until smooth.
  • Fold in the chopped jalapeños gently. Do not overmix the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Spread it out very evenly.
  • Bake for twenty minutes until golden. Let it cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh peppers for the best spicy flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter for tender bread.
  • Heat the skillet before adding the batter.
  • Check for doneness with a wooden toothpick.
  • Let it rest briefly before you slice it.
  • Serve it warm with extra salted butter.
  • Store in an airtight container to stay soft.
