Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 2 tbsp butter inside while oven heats, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk cornmeal, flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Whisk buttermilk and eggs together in a separate bowl until smooth.
Step 4
Pour buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—some lumps are fine. Fold in cheddar and jalapeños.
Step 5
Carefully pour batter into hot buttered skillet. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12–14 minutes.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes in the skillet, then invert onto a cutting board or serve directly from the pan.
