Instructions

STEP 1: Whisk the dry ingredients

• Whisk Cornmeal with flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Keep it aside

STEP 2: Whisk the Wet Ingredients

• Whisk wet ingredients - Eggs, Honey, Melted Butter, Buttermilk, Brown Sugar, and Blackberries in a bowl.

STEP 3: Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients

• Combine the wet and dry ingredients
• Fold until combined
• Pour this in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake @200C or 400F for 25 minutes

STEP 4: Serve

• After the Cornbread gets baked, allow it to cool down to room temperature. Cut into equal sized squares and serve.

Remember that the secret to a moist Cornbread with crispy edges is to cool it down completely before you cut it. You do not want to cut out a cornbread tha is warm and cracks on cutting.

Substitutions

• Almond Milk - You can skip buttermilk and use Almond milk and lemon juice as a replacement
• DIY Buttermilk - Don't have buttermilk at home. Don't worry. DIY Buttermilk by combining 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of whole milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then use it.
• Butter - Replace Butter with Apple Sauce or Vegetable Oil for a healthier alternative.
• Brown Sugar & Honey - If you find that this is getting too sweet, then skip either Brown Sugar or Honey.

Cooking Variations

• Skillet Cornbread - There is nothing better than a skillet Cornbread. Make this recipe in a cast iron skillet using the same insturctions and ingredients. Bake for the same time.
• Browned Top - To avoid the browned top over your Cornbread, tent with a foil after 10-minutes of baking uncovered.
• Blackberry Puree - Instead of using whole Blackberries, you can use Blackberry Puree. Just add the blackberries in a pot with water and sugar and bring to a boil. As the water boils, lightly muddle the berries. After that, cool it down and strain the seeds. Use the blackberry puree to swirl over the cornbread, before baking it.

Storage

You can easily store this Summer Blackberry Cornbread. You can wrap individual pieces of Cornbread with foil and freeze this for up to 1 month. You can also freeze the entire cake for 1 month.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven before you serve.

Also, you can refrigerate this for up to 2 weeks

Top tips

• Use equal quantity of Flour and Cornmeal for the best results.
• If your Cornbread hasn't baked in the center, then you can bake it for longer time or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean
• You can use Fresh or Frozen Blackberries. If you're using thawed frozen Blackberries or Dried Blackberries, then just soak them in warm water for 1 hour, prior to using them.
• You can use any Summer Berries like Blueberries or Raspberries or Strawberries for this recipe.
• If you're not using Buttermilk, you can use Whole Milk as well.
• You can use Vegetable Oil in place of butter, your cake will be moist and fluffy, however, butter gives this a wonderful buttery taste.
• You can use Granulated Sugar as its traditionally done in all other Cornbread recipes. However, I feel the combination of Brown Sugar and Honey gives it the best taste.
