Let’s get started
Yellow cornmeal: Golden yellow cornbread is a must for this recipe. Please make sure you use plain yellow cornmeal, not corn muffin mix. Flour: Standard all-purpose flour works best here; skip the cake flour, bread flour, and wheat flour. Make sure to measure accurately. In my opinion, a kitchen scale is the best way to measure your ingredients. Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half. Sugar: Regular white granulated sugar o caster sugar. I do not recommend reducing the amount of sugar or changing the type of sugar, as it will change the loaf’s texture. Baking powder: Make sure it’s not expired or too old. To avoid a chemical aftertaste, use baking powder that is labeled aluminum free. I usually use the Clabber Girl brand, and though the ingredients state aluminum, I’ve never noticed an aluminum aftertaste. Orange: You’ll need the zest and juice. Buttermilk: You don’t have buttermilk? No problem!! Check out my recipe for Easy Homemade Buttermilk Substitute [Video]. Yogurt: I used plain low-fat Greek yogurt. Milk: For baking, I like to use whole milk. However, you can use any milk you have handy. Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe. Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw. Sliced almonds: This is totally optional! If you can’t eat nuts, just omit them or substitute them for your favorite seeds. Honey: You can substitute honey for maple syrup.
Measure flour correctly. Using too much flour will result in a dry, dense texture. Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes before getting started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature. Don’t overmix the batter. Mix just until you’ve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter. Bake the batter as soon as it is ready. Don’t open the oven door until your baked good has set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time is stated in the recipe. Check for doneness. Use a toothpick and insert it into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, it’s done. Be careful not to bake over, or it won’t be as tender. Every oven is different, so baking times must be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, affecting baking time, so keep an eye on yours.
Freeze
It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Cool the loaf completely, then wrap it with foil or freezer wrap and place it in a freezer bag.
Thaw
Unthaw the loaf in the refrigerator and then bring it to room temperature before serving.
