Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or an 8x8 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Combine dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix wet ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine wet and dry ingredients

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  2. 5

    Add cheese and jalapeños

    Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped smoked jalapeños until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the cornbread

    Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. 7

    Cool and serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
