Sauteed cranberries add a tasty surprise to this cornbread. They go into the baking pan first and are covered with batter. When the bread is turned out, the berries make a glistening topping. Candied ginger adds zing to a loaf that can be served with dinner or as a snack.

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
1 teaspoon baking powder

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.

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.
  • Bake until the cornbread is browned around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot with butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available from September to December, while frozen cranberries are available year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread rise evenly.
  • Test the bread for doneness with a toothpick. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing. This will help the bread hold its shape.

Honey cranberry cornmeal quick bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and tart taste.
