1 cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425º. Place a 10" cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat. In a medium bowl, mix the 1 cup cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the milk, butter, and egg together. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in the cream corn, green onions, jalapeno, and cheddar cheese. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add bacon drippings to the pan to melt. Sprinkle with remaining cornmeal or just until the bottom of the pan is covered. Place back in the oven and bake just until the cornmeal begins to brown, about 3 - 4 minutes. Add the batter to the skillet and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the edges are pulling away from the side of the skillet.
