Combine 3 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl and stir.

In another bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 sticks of melted unsalted butter, and 2 cups of milk.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in grated cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, and diced jalapenos.

Let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature.

Pour the batter into a well-greased 9 by 11 pan or casserole dish and smooth it out evenly.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
