Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread

My friend Danelle over at Let's Dish did a great job with this!  I love the recipe mostly because it is the best of two cornbread recipes.  The jalapeno adds just enough flavor without being spicy - which is perfect for my kids.  This recipe is half of the recipe posted at Let's Dish, so this just helps you with any math.

1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. cornmeal
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 1/4 c. cheddar cheese
1/4 c. green onions
1 1/2 tbsp. minced jalapeno

Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt.  Combine milk, egg and butter; stir into the flour mixture until most of the lumps are dissolved.  DO NOT overmix!  Add in 1 cup of cheese, 3 tablespoons of the green onions and jalapeno.  Allow to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.  Preheat oven to 350F.  Grease a 9"x9" pan and spread with batter, sprinkle with remaining cheese and onion.  Bake 30-35 minutes.
