The weather this Summer is quite warm, with days in the mid-90s recently. We have been doing a good amount of grilling and hanging out by the pool. I love using seasonal ingredients and Summer in Florida is one of my favorite seasons for fresh Florida food.

- In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, 1 cup of flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk and butter together. Pour into dry ingredients and mix to combine. In another bowl, add the blueberries, corn, and 2 tablespoons flour. Toss to combine, then gently fold into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the hot cast iron skillet and level the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
