Instructions
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cast iron skillet by lightly greasing it.
Pro tip: Use a cast iron skillet for a nicely browned crust.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Pro tip: Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter texture.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
Pro tip: Make sure the butter isn't too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
Combine the Mixtures
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pro tip: Do not overmix to prevent a dense bread.
Add the Cheddar and Jalapeños
Fold in the smoked cheddar and chopped jalapeños, if desired.
Pro tip: For more flavor, let the cheddar sit at room temperature before adding.
Pour into the Skillet
Pour the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet and smooth the top.
Pro tip: Gently tap the skillet to remove air bubbles.
Bake
Place the skillet on the grill and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Cooling
Let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the skillet.
Pro tip: Use a knife to loosen the edges before removing.
