CORNBREAD WITH DRIED CRANBERRIES
From the blog biggreencookbook.com and the original recipe from Williams-Sonoma. I rearranged the recipe and added a few things. The maple butter recipe is from about.com.

Steps:
- *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.
- CORNBREAD: Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 degree C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix the batter just until it comes together, okay to have some lumps. DO NOT overmix the batter.
- 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.
- Bake at 375 degrees until the top springs back when pressed gently in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Best served warm.
- If desired, spread some of the maple butter onto each slice of cornbread.
- MAPLE BUTTER: Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, heat maple syrup until 235 degrees Fahrenheit (soft ball stage on a candy thermometer).
- Stir in butter.
- 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.
- Keep stored in glass container in the refrigerator.

CRANBERRY CORNBREAD
Cranberries meet cornbread in this one-bowl fall mashup. A crunchy golden edge forms around the cornbread thanks to the hot skillet the batter is poured into. The mixture crisps in the oven-melted butter that coats the pan, resulting in browning and caramelization that delivers maximum flavor. While baking, the fresh cranberries soften, ensuring a burst of juicy tartness with each bite. Use either fine- or medium-grind cornmeal, as coarse varieties make for an overly gritty bite.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and heat oven to 375 degrees. Place the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, and place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the eggs and buttermilk, and whisk until combined.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The butter should be completely melted. Pour about three-quarters of the melted butter into the cornmeal batter, and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, and sprinkle the cranberries evenly over the top.
- Bake until the cornbread is browned around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot with butter.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cornbread the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat the Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the cornbread in. This will help ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
- Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best pan for cooking cornbread. It distributes heat evenly and gives the cornbread a nice crust.
- Let the Cornbread Cool Before Serving: Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Cornbread with fennel seeds, dried cranberries, and golden raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion.
