Follow The Directions
01
Step
Prepare the Skillet: Pour vegetable oil into a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Place the skillet in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
Prepare the Corn & Blueberries: Place corn in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Place corn in a colander to drain any excess liquid, then transfer to a medium bowl. Add blueberries and 2 tablespoons flour; toss to combine. Set aside. (7 minutes)
03
Step
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, 1 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. (3 minutes)
04
Step
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs together. Pour into the cornmeal mixture and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the reserved blueberry-corn mixture. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
05
Step
Bake the Cornbread: Remove the hot skillet from the oven. Carefully brush the oil onto the bottom and sides of the skillet until coated. Pour batter into the hot skillet and level the top with a spatula. (2 minutes)
06
Step
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy! (30 minutes)
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling the rest of the cup with milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Feel free to experiment with different types of berries or add-ins, such as chopped nuts or a sprinkle of lemon zest.
