Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (*i used orange flavored dried cranberries from trader joes)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • scant 1/3 cup butter

Directions:

  1. *Note: you can mimic the flavor of Trader Joes' brand of orange flavored dried cranberries by stirring about 1/4 teaspoon of orange extract into the batter.
  2. CORNBREAD: Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 degree C).
  3. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt [2 tablespoons] of butter and set aside. Cut up the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into an 8-inch cast iron skillet.
  4. Place pan in oven until it is hot and the butter is melted and sizzling, about 1-2 minutes (Watch carefully!) Using oven mitts, rotate the pan as need to coat bottom evenly with melted butter. Remove from oven.
  5. In large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Make a well in the center. Whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter and beaten egg and pour it into the cornmeal mixture.
  6. Using a wooden spoon, mix the batter just until it comes together, okay to have some lumps. DO NOT overmix the batter.
  7. Coarsely chop the cranberries and stir them into the batter. Tip: to make chopping the cranberries easier, wet the knife on both sides. Spread batter evenly into the hot pan.
  8. Bake at 375 degrees until the top springs back when pressed gently in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  9. Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Best served warm.
  10. If desired, spread some of the maple butter onto each slice of cornbread.
  11. MAPLE BUTTER: Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, heat maple syrup until 235 degrees Fahrenheit (soft ball stage on a candy thermometer).
  12. Stir in butter.
  13. Pour mixture into a [deep] bowl (use a *deep* bowl to avoid splattering yourself with the hot liquid!), stir in the vanilla extract and beat with electric mixer until thick and creamy, about 4 minutes.
  14. Keep stored in glass container in the refrigerator.
