Ingredients
Cornbread / Mieliebrood
- 1 ½ cups maize meal/mielie pap
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ tsp fine salt
- 1 can cream style sweetcorn
- 1 large egg
- 400 ml milk
- ½ cup cheddar cheese grated
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Honey-Butter
- ⅓ cup salted butter
- ⅓ cup honey
Instructions
- Add the maize meal, all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper and salt together. Mix until combined.
- To the dry ingredients, add cream style sweetcorn, egg, milk, cheddar cheese and vegetable oil together. Mix until well combined.
- Pour into an ovenproof dish and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 35-45 minutes or until brown on top (coat the top of the cornbread with some of the honey butter after its baked for 25 minutes). Note: This size I used was 28Lx21Wx5H but you can definitely use a bigger ovenproof dish as these were nice and big (not complaining though).
- Removed from the oven, poke the sponge using a toothpick, and generously coat with more of the honey butter. You can never have enough honey butter so make sure to make extra if you want.
