Ingredients

Instructions

  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the cheese and diced jalapeños. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, and eggs.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean after inserted into the center.
  • Let cornbread cool in pan for 15 minutes before cutting. Cut into squares and serve.
