CRANBERRY CORNBREAD



Cranberry Cornbread image

Cranberries meet cornbread in this one-bowl fall mashup. A crunchy golden edge forms around the cornbread thanks to the hot skillet the batter is poured into. The mixture crisps in the oven-melted butter that coats the pan, resulting in browning and caramelization that delivers maximum flavor. While baking, the fresh cranberries soften, ensuring a burst of juicy tartness with each bite. Use either fine- or medium-grind cornmeal, as coarse varieties make for an overly gritty bite.

Categories     breads, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter, plus more for serving
1 1/4 cups/180 grams fine- or medium-grind yellow cornmeal
1 cup/125 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk
1 cup/115 grams fresh or thawed frozen cranberries

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the middle of the oven and heat oven to 375 degrees. Place the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, and place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the eggs and buttermilk, and whisk until combined.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The butter should be completely melted. Pour about three-quarters of the melted butter into the cornmeal batter, and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, and sprinkle the cranberries evenly over the top.

CRANBERRY-WALNUT BREAD



Cranberry-Walnut Bread image

This Thanksgiving-inspired quick bread recipe comes from Jane Kraemer of Manchester, Connecticut. The mixture of tart cranberry and salty nuts will have everyone reaching for a second slice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until combined. Add egg, and beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until combined (dough will appear very dry). Reduce speed to low; beat in orange zest and juice. Fold in cranberries and walnuts.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan, smoothing top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour (tent with foil if top is browning too quickly). Cool in pan 10 minutes; run a knife around edges of loaf, and invert onto a wire rack. Turn top side up; cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Chop the walnuts finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cornbread.
  • Use a cast iron skillet. This will help the cornbread cook evenly and give it a nice crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help the cornbread rise properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough.
  • Bake the cornbread for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it hold together better.

Conclusion:

This cranberry walnut cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and tart flavor from the cranberries. The walnuts add a nice crunch and texture. This cornbread is perfect for serving with chili, soup, or salad. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a snack or breakfast.
