Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Canned black-eyed peas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 medium Jalapeño (finely diced)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish with vegetable oil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, black-eyed peas, diced jalapeño, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cast-iron skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly in the skillet for about 5 minutes. Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm.
