Instructions
- Get everything ready by preheating the oven to 200°C/395°F fan oven, 220°C/425°F conventional oven and lightly greasing a 20cm (8") cake tin or baking dish.
- In a large bowl mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
- Melt the butter and add it to a separate bowl together with the eggs and buttermilk.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and mix together quickly. Don't worry if your batter is a bit lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a skwere inserted into the bread comes out clean.
- Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Buttermilk can be replaced by a 50:50 mixture of plain yoghurt and milk.
