Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven.
Step 2
Whisk flour, cornmeal, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1.5 tsp baking powder in a large bowl.
Step 3
Stir in cheddar and jalapeños until evenly distributed throughout the dry mix.
Step 4
Whisk milk and egg together in a small bowl until combined.
Step 5
Pour milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick batter forms—lumps are fine.
Step 6
Carefully remove hot skillet from oven. Add 3 tbsp butter and swirl until melted and coating the pan.
Step 7
Pour batter into the hot skillet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18–20 minutes.
Step 8
Cool in the pan for 3 minutes. Invert onto a cutting board or serve directly from the skillet.
