BLUEBERRY LEMON CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425ºF, placing a 10-inch cast iron skillet inside. (You want the skillet to be hot when the batter is added. Note that a 12-inch skillet will result in flat cornbread. No cast iron skillet? Try a 9-inch square metal baking pan.) In a medium-size bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Set aside. In a separate large bowl, stir together the lemon juice and milk, and then whisk in the egg, honey and oil. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until the dry mixture is completely moistened. A few small lumps are okay. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the 1 tablespoon of oil, using a brush to spread it all around and up the sides of the skillet. Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet. Evenly sprinkle the blueberries over top (no need to thaw if frozen), and then push them lightly into the batter with your finger or the tip of a knife. Carefully return the skillet to the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes, give or take a few minutes depending on oven, or until the top and sides are lightly golden brown and the center is just cooked through. (The cornbread cooks faster than expected thanks to the piping hot skillet.) Cool slightly, and then slice and serve.
