Blueberry corn bread

Blueberry corn bread is a delightful twist on the classic corn bread, incorporating the juicy sweetness of blueberries with the savory, hearty texture of cornmeal. This recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet side dish to complement savory main courses. The combination of tangy buttermilk, buttery richness, and fresh blueberries creates a moist and flavorful bread that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 cup cornmeal
160g
2 tbsp baking powder
30g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup buttermilk
230g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup blueberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 cup of cornmeal, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs until well blended. Add 1 cup of buttermilk and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Whisk together until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Fold in the Blueberries:
Gently fold 1 cup of blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
6. Transfer to Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
7. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure that your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to help them blend more evenly.

- Toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.

- Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the corn bread dense. Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

- Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to avoid excess moisture.

- For a slightly crispier crust, bake the corn bread in a preheated cast iron skillet.

Once your blueberry corn bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it's ready to be enjoyed. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. This delicious bread can be served warm with a pat of butter, or even drizzled with a bit of honey for an added touch of sweetness. Enjoy every bite of this homemade treat, whether it's for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack.
