Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup medium-ground yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cups shredded sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • Optional add-ins: finely diced fresh or pickled jalapeños, chopped green onions or chives, cooked and crumbled beef or plant-based beef crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan, dusting it lightly with cornmeal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in about 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese and any optional add-ins.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares.
  9. Serve warm with butter or alongside your favorite chili or soup.
