Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Remove the skillet from the oven and brush it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Pour the cornbread batter into the hot skillet and spread it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  10. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
