Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 whole egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons butter
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/2 onion, diced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Stir together.
- Measure the buttermilk and milk in a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined. Fold in the cheese. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, melt the shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
- In an iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the peppers and onions until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the batter into the hot skillet with the veggies. Spread to even out the surface. (Batter should sizzle.)
- Cook for 1 minute, and then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, for 20 to 25 minutes.
