Blueberry Cornbread


¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 T. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 T. melted butter
1 cup fresh blueberries or 1 cup frozen blueberries, thawed


In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until fluffy and lemon colored, about 4-5 minutes on medium speed.

Turn off the motor, and add the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter. Beat for 1 minute. Stir in the blueberries. Pour batter into an 8” x 8” greased and floured baking pan.

Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 30 minutes or until corn bread is set in center. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then cut into wedges (if using an 8” round pan) or 9 pieces (if using a square pan).
