1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup well-shaken buttermilk, 1 egg, 1/4 pound grated extra sharp cheddar, 1/4 cup finely chopped scallion, 1-2 tbsp finely chopped pickled jalapenos, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter and special equipment.
Begin by preheating your oven to 218°C and placing the oven rack in the middle position. Heat the corn-stick pans in the oven for 10 minutes. This will ensure that the pans are hot and ready for baking the Jalapeno Cheese Fingers.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture will form the base of our Jalapeno Cheese Fingers, providing a crunchy and flavorful texture to the dish.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients along with the grated cheddar, finely chopped scallion, jalapenos, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until just combined to create a cohesive batter.
Remove the heated pans from the oven and divide the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter among the molds. Quickly divide the batter among the molds, filling each about 3 tablespoons.
Allow the Jalapeno Cheese Fingers to cool in the pans on a rack for 3 to 5 minutes before removing them from the molds. Serve these delicious cheese fingers warm as a delightful snack or appetizer.
Your Jalapeno Cheese Fingers are now ready to be enjoyed! With their perfect blend of cheesy and spicy flavors, they are sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a tasty snack.
