  3. In a separate, large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and parsley together.
  4. Add the cubed Stork Baking Margarine and mix into the dry ingredients (using your hands) until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Stir in the cheese, bacon, spring onion and jalapeños until combined, then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir to combine.
  6. Your batter should be thick, chunky, and sticky.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan. Feel free to lightly sprinkle with additional fresh pepper and/or cheese.
  8. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at about 47 minutes.
