Skillet Campfire Bread

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...My family calls this kitchen sink bread, so named because everything but the kitchen sink goes into its creation. It is a gussied up version of cornbread made with ingredients that make it a perfect accompaniment for barbecue or Southwestern-style meals. The bread is very easy to make and the recipe is so straight forward that it requires no special instructions from me. If you like your cornbread with heat, I do hope you'll give this recipe a try. It was developed by America's Test Kitchen and Ireally think you'll enjoy it. Here is the recipe.

2) Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in cheese, jalapenos and scallions and toss with fingers until coated with flour.
3) In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk and eggs and whisk until smooth.
4) Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet set over medium heat. Pour all but 1 tablespoon of butter into buttermilk mixture and whisk to incorporate. Gently fold buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until combined. Mixture will be thick.
5) Scrape batter into hot skillet and smooth top. Bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let bread cool slightly in pan before removing. Best served warm. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
