2
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the maple syrup until combined. Add the eggs and buttermilk and whisk until incorporated.
3
Add 1 cup of the flour and cornmeal to the dry ingredients, then sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda and salt over the top and whisk until just combined.
4
Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour, then add to the batter and fold them in gently until incorporated.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread evenly.
6
Bake for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack of the oven until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 15-20 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Freeze Your Blueberries First 🫐Toss blueberries in a tablespoon of cornmeal or flour and freeze for 30 minutes before folding them in—this prevents them from sinking to the bottom and bleeding color into the batter.
- Preheat Your Cast Iron Skillet 🔥Heat your skillet in a 425°F oven for 10 minutes with butter inside, then pour in batter—this creates those prized crispy, golden edges that make skillet cornbread irresistible.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined with visible flour streaks remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates a tough, dense crumb instead of the fluffy texture you want.
- Room Temperature Buttermilk Makes a Difference 🥛Allow buttermilk to sit out for 15 minutes before using—it blends more evenly into the batter and reacts better with the baking soda for superior rise and tender crumb structure.
- Toast Your Cornmeal First 🌽Lightly toast cornmeal in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance its nutty flavor and deepen the overall taste complexity of your finished cornbread.
