Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cup blue cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup sweet corn kernels (optional, fresh or frozen)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the cornbread dense.

Step 5

Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese and sweet corn kernels, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter or as a side alongside soups, chili, or roasted meats.
