INGREDIENTS

  • Dry ingredients

    • 1 cup cornmeal
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
    • 🍬 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper

  • Wet ingredients

    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten
    • 🥛 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed

  • Additional ingredients

    • 🧅 1 small yellow onion, minced
    • 🧀 3/4 cup sharp Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place an 8 to 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven.

2

Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Slowly stir in the 1/4 cup oil until mixture is crumbly. Stir in onions, jalapenos, and 1/2 cup cheese.

3

Fold in egg and buttermilk just until blended. Do not overmix.

4

Remove the hot skillet from the oven and swirl the 1 tablespoon oil around to grease the bottom and sides. Pour batter into the skillet.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.

6

Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese on cornbread immediately after removing from the oven; let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
