How to Make Jalapeno Cheese Fingers
1.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 218°C. Heat corn-stick pans in oven 10 minutes.
2.
Whisk together cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
3.
Whisk together buttermilk and egg in another bowl, then add to cornmeal mixture along with cheddar, scallion, jalapeños (to taste), and 2 tablespoons butter, stirring until just combined.
4.
Remove pans from oven and divide remaining 2 tablespoons butter among molds. Quickly divide batter among molds (about 3 tablespoons each)and bake until tops are golden and a wooden pick or skewer comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes (15 to 20 minutes if using skillet).

Cool corn sticks in pans on a rack 3 to 5 minutes before removing from molds. Serve warm.
