    Instructions

    Ingredients

    • 3 jalapeño peppers
    • ½ small yellow onion
    • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese
    • Cooking spray
    • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
    • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 large eggs (or ½ cup egg substitute)

    Steps

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop jalapeños (removing seeds and membranes if desired) and onion finely; shred cheese (1 cup). Coat 9–inch square baking dish with spray.
      2. Place jalapeños, onions, and buttermilk in small saucepan; bring to a simmer on medium. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove pan from heat and let stand to cool 5 minutes.
      3. Combine in large bowl: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder; stir until blended. Beat eggs in separate bowl; add cheese and stir until blended. Add buttermilk mixture to egg mixture; whisk until blended, then add to cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
      4. Pour batter into prepared dish; bake 30–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Slice and serve.
