For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the onion in a little butter before adding it to the batter. Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to your preference for heat. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a greased 9x13 inch baking dish will also work, but baking time may vary slightly. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Allowing the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing helps it to hold its shape.
