Ingredients

  • -1 1/2 cups cornmeal
  • -1 cup flour
  • -6 tablespoons sugar
  • -1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • -1 teaspoon salt
  • -1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • -1/2 cup 1 stick melted butter
  • -1 cup buttermilk
  • -3 large eggs
  • -1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese + 1/2 cup for topping
  • -3/4 cup corn kernels
  • -1/3 cup chopped drained pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F and grease 2 nonstick cookie sheets or sheet pans.
  • In a large bowl combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir together so ingredients are evenly dispersed.
  • In a medium bowl combine melted butter, buttermilk and eggs. Whip until eggs are incorporated into the butter and buttermilk.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until combined, do not overmix.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups cheese, corn and jalapeños and fold into your batter. Your batter should be pretty wet and sticky.
  • Drop 1/4 cup of batter per scone onto your cookie sheet. I made mine round, almost like a big piece of cookie dough. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in your oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. The magic number with my oven was 12 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack to cool or serve warm. Enjoy!
