# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch pan. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large measuring cup, mix milk, vegetable oil, and beaten egg. Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour wet mixture in. Stir until well combined and moistened. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a tester comes out clean.

Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter an 8-inch round soufflé dish. In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, eggs, Half and Half, salt, and brown sugar. Add cubed cornbread and blueberries, stirring to combine. Let the mixture sit for several minutes to absorb the milk mixture.

Transfer the bread pudding mixture to the prepared soufflé dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Add cinnamon or additional fruit if desired. Ensure bread is fully saturated with liquid, adding additional liquid if necessary. Let rest for 5-10 minutes, weighted if needed. Bake at 300°F for 60-75 minutes. Serve warm, either alone or with toppings like whipped or ice cream.

In a sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved. Add Jack Daniels (optional) and cinnamon. Stir in sliced peaches and cook for a few minutes until peaches are softened to your liking. Spoon sauce over each serving of bread pudding. Optionally, top with ice cream or whipped cream.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure to soak the cornbread thoroughly in the liquid for a creamier pudding texture.
