1cupbuttermilk at room temp or DIY milk and vinegar
1 cupshredded cheddar cheese
1teaspoonChopped pickled jalapeno
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C)
If making your own butter milk add one tablespoon of white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup and then top the cup up to the 1 cup marker line with regular milk. skim, 1%, 2%, 3.25% all work fine for this. Stir the vinegar and milk together and let them sit for about 10 minutes. It will thicken a bit during this time and is good to go as a replacement for buttermilk in this recipe!
In a large microwave proof bowl, melt the butter.
To the mixing bowl, add in the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, honey and egg.
Now add the milk and then stir all the ingredients until well incorporated.
Fold in the grated cheese and chopped jalapenos.
Add to an 8x8 pan that has been greased and flour (your future self will thank you for doing this step)
Bake for 20mins or until the center is set (no longer jiggles when you shake the pan) and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
