How to Make Cornbread With Cheese Jalapenos And Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan or oven-safe skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil and place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to warm.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups cornmeal, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn, 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Melt 1/4 cup butter and stir into the batter.
  7. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
