Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, jalapenos, egg, sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Add to dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
I make this every year to use in the Spicy Cornbread Stuffing for the Spice Rubbed Turkey. It is amazing. I usually double the recipe so that my husband will stay out of the pan I need to use for the stuffing. =)
this is a fantastic recipe with great flavors, I'm considering adding cheese to it when not using it for stuffing.
And 1/4 more of buttermilk and half table spoon of baking power and two table spoons of honey
