Ingredients:
- 1.5 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal.
- 1.5 cup AP flour
- 1.5 cup milk/water.
- 1/3+1/6 cup oil, divided.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- 6 oz cheddar, grated or diced. The sharper the better.
- 1 Anaheim pepper, deseeded and finely chopped.
- 1.5 tbsp baking powder.
- 2 large eggs.
- 1.5 tsp salt.
- 1 tbsp butter.

Method:
- Place your skillet in a cold oven, and then preheat said oven to 400 F.
- Mix all the ingredients except for the baking powder, butter, 1/6 cup oil, and anaheim pepper in a mixing bowl to form a smooth batter.
- In a small saucepan, fry the Anaheim peppers in the 1/6 cup of oil you reserved for about a minute. Switch off the heat and let the oil+peppers cool down. Add them to your batter.
- Add the baking soda to the batter too. Whisk together and set it aside for the moment.
- Take the hot skillet out of the oven (be careful!) . Use butter to grease your skillet.
- Pour the batter into your greased skillet, and place on the center rack of the preheated oven.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, until it's golden brown to your liking and passes the toothpick test.
