Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. If using, fold in the bell peppers, green onions, and corn kernels.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra moisture, add sour cream or Greek yogurt. For spice, add diced jalapeños. Use buttermilk for richer flavor. Cool before slicing to prevent crumbling.
