How to Make Jalapeño Cornbread | Hilah Cooking

Preheat the oven and place a spoonful of lard in a 12-inch cast iron skillet to melt.

Combine dry ingredients: cornmeal, white flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk and 1 egg until fully incorporated.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined and a little lumpy.

Add in thawed corn kernels, diced jalapeno, and grated sharp cheddar cheese to the batter and stir.

Remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the sizzling skillet.

Bake in the oven at 400°F for about 30 minutes until puffy and golden brown.
