Servings: persons

1 cup milk
1 cup cornmeal
1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup minced scallion
3 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, minced
1 cup shredded monterey jack pepper cheese

1
Preheat oven to 425; heavily grease 12 muffin cups or 2 dozen cornstick molds.
2
In a small bowl, pour the milk over the cornmeal and set the mixture aside to soak while you assemble the dry ingredients.
3
In a bigger bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt.
4
Beat the eggs and add to the cornmeal mixture with the oil.
5
Add the cornmeal and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended; don't beat this batter or your muffins will be tough.
6
Fold in the scallions, jalapeno peppers, and 3/4 cup of the cheese.
7
Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each muffin cup 3/4 full.
8
If you are using a cornstick mold, fill each mold about 1/2 inch deep, spreading the batter so it completely covers the bottom of the mold.
9
Sprinkle the remaining cheese atop the muffins, and bake them for 18-22 minutes, until they are golden brown.
