Jalapeno Johnny Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups cornmeal
2 cups milk
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely
1/2 cup grated tex Mexican blend cheese
4 eggs, beaten slightly
oil (for frying)

Preparation

Put dry ingredients (except for the Jalapeno pepper and cheese in one bowl and wet ingredients in another).
Mix together a little at a time and let sit for fifteen minutes, occasionally stirring.
Then put about a tsp or two of oil in a frying pan and make it hot.
Just before frying the johnny cakes, add the cheese and jalapeno peppers and stir well.
Drop by pot spoons onto a hot griddle just as you would if you were making pancakes. Wait till bubbles form on top and then flip and fry on the other side until golden brown.
Serve with jalapeno dip, sour cream or eat plain.
