Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • ½ white onion, diced
  • 2 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced (approximately ½ cup)

Instructions

  • Place a greased 8-inch cast-iron skillet into a cold oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F, allowing the skillet to heat up with the oven.
  • In a medium bowl, combine eggs, oil, buttermilk, and cornmeal. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Whisk together until combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Fold in cheese, corn, onion, and jalapeños.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the hot skillet.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown. (An inserted toothpick should come out clean or with a few dry crumbs.)
  • Let the cornbread cool for about 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
