Cornbread - Blueberry Maple Cornbread Skillet

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Post by Chowhound »

1 cup all purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon for the blueberries
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
⅓ cup canola oil, plus 1 tablespoon for the pan
4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup fresh or thawed, frozen blueberries

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a cast iron skillet with the canola oil and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, canola oil, and maple syrup until combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir just until incorporated. Toss the blueberries with the tablespoon of flour and fold into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack of the oven until the cornbread is golden brown and crispy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
