Directions

Combine 1 1/4 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups cornmeal, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Whisk 2 1/4 cups buttermilk, 2 eggs, 1/2 stick melted butter and 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos; stir into the flour mixture.

Alternative Recipe:

Use 2 boxes Jiffy cornbread mix, add ¾ c sour cream, 1 can creamed corn, chopped jarred jalapenos (to taste) and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in a cast iron skillet or small oblong baking dish. Yummy shortcut!
