Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously grease an 8-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, gently toss the chopped cranberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside to allow the cranberries to macerate slightly. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten eggs, and melted butter. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the sugared cranberries into the cornbread batter. (1 minute)

07

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. (1 minute)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (20 minutes)

09

Step

Let the cornbread cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. (30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of orange zest to the batter.
If you prefer a sweeter cornbread, increase the sugar in the cornbread batter by 1-2 tablespoons.
Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for an enhanced experience.
You can substitute fresh cranberries with frozen ones. Do not thaw before using.

    This recipe is fantastic! The cranberries add such a nice tartness to the sweet cornbread.

    I added a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth. Delicious!

  • Watson Collins

    I used dried cranberries instead of fresh, and it worked out great. Just soaked them in warm water for a bit first.

  • Alicia Lindgren

    Could I substitute almond milk for regular milk?

  • Brenda Konopelski

    I halved the sugar and it was still plenty sweet enough for my taste.

  • Seamus Boehm

    My family loved this cornbread! It's become a new holiday tradition.

  • Nannie Cummerata

    Make sure not to overmix the batter, or the cornbread will be tough.
