BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners (don't skip the liners or the blueberries will stick to the pan).
• Combine the milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the flour mixture. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk/lemon mixture, vanilla and lemon zest. Add to the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter. Stir until just blended; and then stir in the blueberries. Do not overmix.
• Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden around the edges. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Notes:Be sure to zest the lemon before juicing it. Don't be tempted to increase the blueberries: one cup is just the right amount -- if you jam-pack the muffins with berries, they'll be too tart and wet.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD WITH HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Spray a 9-inch square or round cake pan. Dust with about 1 1/2 tbsp yellow cornmeal. Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined - there may be small lumps and that's OK. Finish by folding with a large spoon to make sure all is incorporated from the bottom of the bowl.
• Fold the 2 cups of blueberries into the batter, pour it into the prepared pan and lightly smooth down the top of the batter. Finish off the top by sprinkling 1 tablespoon of sugar over the batter.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes (mine was perfect at 40 minutes) until toothpick comes out clean. It will be very lightly brown on top. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges of the pan and turn out onto a rack. Cool for an additional 20 minutes until completely cooled. Use a serrated knife to cut pieces.
• To make the honey butter, mix together the butter, honey, salt and cayenne until totally blended. Serve with cooled cornbread.

• Buttery Maple Syrup:.
• In a small saucepan gently warm syrup with butter just until butter is melted (Do NOT boil). Drizzle over warm bread.
• **This bread is only slightly sweet due to the maple syrup topping. If you don't want to use the syrup topping you can increase the amount of sugar to your liking.
• **This recipe is best made with fresh berries. However, if you are using frozen berries please add them to the mixture frozen and not thawed. This keeps the juice "inside" the berries and keeps the bread mixture from turning blue.
