How to Make South Of The Border Jalapeno Cornbread
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or cast iron skillet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup creamed corn, 1 cup buttermilk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Finely chop 1-2 jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference) and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cornbread should be golden brown on top.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
