Brown Butter Cornmeal Cake with Blueberries
Rich, buttery and good-looking. I’m not talking about Brad Pitt; I’m talking about a loaf bread I just made for guests. Browning the butter first (be careful to watch it as you don’t want it to burn), and incorporating cornmeal along with flour gives it a unique flavor and texture. I used medium milled cornmeal, but you may want to use a fine milled version if you prefer a silkier consistency. I used orange zest instead of nutmeg and added the optional blueberries which I believe enhance the outcome. Not a crumb was left on anyone’s plate so this one is a keeper.
