Cornbread Mixture

Optional Add-ins for Flavor

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped
• ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon

Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparing Cornbread Mixture

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish in the oven to preheat. Preheating the skillet ensures a crisp, golden crust.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, whole milk, and eggs until well blended.
2. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter, whisking continuously to avoid curdling the eggs.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

1. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
2. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense texture.

Step 5: Add Optional Ingredients

1. If desired, fold in cheddar cheese, jalapeños, or bacon for added flavor and texture.
