Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 small jalapeno seeded and finely diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9 x 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and egg yolk, and melted butter.
  • With a wooden spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry until most of the lumps are dissolved. Don't overmix. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese along with the green onions and jalapenos. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.  Bake for about 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
