Blueberry Cornbread Madeleines
I’m normally not the biggest fan of sweet and savory mixing together in the same dish. To the point where if I’m eating breakfast, my pancakes have to be on a separate plate and I’ll need a new fork thank you very much. There are a few instances however, where I’m willing to break that rule.
These Blueberry Cornbread Madeleines are such an instance and I currently can’t get enough of them. I can’t get them in my mouth fast enough. They’re like a cornbread that’s slightly sweet with pops of fresh blueberries that burst during baking, giving them the coolest look. As if a blueberry muffin met and fell in love with a savory cornbread and they had kids. Those kids are these madeleines. They’ll be the easiest thing you make all weekend long and I do hope you’ll give them a try!
Blueberry Cornbread Madeleines
Equipment
- Mixer
- Madeleine pan
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fine cornmeal plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup canola oil plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease and flour a standard madeleine pan, set aside. Alternately, you could also use a mini muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugars, baking soda and salt until evenly combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Stir until just combined. Fold in the blueberries and then add about a rounded tablespoon of batter into each cavity of the prepared pan.
- Bake until puffed up, golden brown and the cookies spring back when you lightly touch them, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before inverting the cooking onto a wire rack to cool completely. Clean out, dry and re-grease the pan to bake off the remaining batter. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy!
