A Moist and Delicious Cornbread Recipe

     
This cornbread recipe is one I love. Too often you find cornbreads that are dry or flavourless.  We played around with a LOT of versions of this most famous of Mexican side dish recipes before hitting on a combination which, for me, is just right. 

Ingredients:
100g/4oz/1.1 cups of fine cornmeal
1 tablespoon of plain flour
½ teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of baking powder
50g/2oz grated cheese
1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten
6 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon sunflower or other flavourless vegetable oil
2 tablespoons of natural (plain) yoghurt


Method:
1. Preheat the oven to Gas7/400F/220C.

2. Mix the cornmeal, flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl.

3. Stir in the cheese, onion, oregano and chilli.

4. Make a well and pour in the egg, milk, oil and yoghurt. Mix well.

5. Transfer the batter to a baking tray.  Any size baking tray is ok.  The batter will form a natural round shape.

6. Bake the cornbread for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.


This cornbread recipe is great with chilli or soup.
