Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups self-rising buttermilk cornbread mix
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
10 ounces pepper Jack cheese, grated
8 ounces fresh broccoli florets, chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the vegetable oil in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet that has been well seasoned to prevent sticking.
  • Combine the cornbread mix, onion, cheese, broccoli, black pepper and jalapeno in a large bowl. Stir in the sour cream, buttermilk and melted butter to make a thick batter.
