Corn bread

Cuisine: USA Created by Victor Kimble

Cornbread (or muffins) is a staple in the South. Eaten by itself – it’s a hearty snack. When served with collard greens, gumbo or jambalaya it’s a fabulous starchy side – perfect for slurping up sauces.

Ingredients

½ cup polenta
1½ cup self raising flour
½ cup castor sugar
Pinch of salt
½ cup melted butter
3 eggs
1 cup of creamed corn
1 cup full cream milk

Preparation

Mix polenta and self-raising flour, salt, melted butter and eggs.

Add creamed corn and milk. Mix until you get a nice creamy consistency.

Spoon the mixture into a greased muffin tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown in color.

Remove muffin tray from the oven and let them cool until they are ready to be remove from the tray.

Ingredient volumes

Recipes that use just under the full volume of a container make me CRAZY! What am I going to do with 1/3 cup of creamed corn - really? So I added it in. And along with other reviewers thought the sugar looked too high. As a transplanted American in Australia I'm constantly cutting the sugar levels of my American recipes to suit the Aussie palate. Result - yum! Very moist and suited as a savoury side rather than breakfast muffin. Thanks for the recipe and reviews.

Office Favorite

I baked these muffins for a morning tea and everything disappeared in 15 minutes. I heated the muffins and served with garlic butter. Too delicious! When will the delightful Mr Kimble make a fresh appearance on Food Safari???

I would have to agree with some in that this recipe could do away with a majority of the sugar it asks for. I think I might try it with a tablespoon of maple syrup next time, just for something different.

Awesome

This is a favourite of mine and dinner guests! The best thing is you can make it with Gulten Free Self Raising Flour and they still taste great!

Hey, this is just like the Croatian polenta cake my mother made... only we use crumbled ricotta instead of the corn. (Also equal polenta vs flour and a bit less sugar. Serve sliced with strawberry jam and a hot beverage. Yum.) I must try a muffin variation with molasses one day.

Can't stop eating them!

Mmmm very tasty, I made them with a little less sugar than recipe and next time will prob leave it out. Aside from that they have a great texture and would be good for an alternative bread for breakfast.

Things you can add

I've made these more varied and savoury by reducing the sugar to 1tbsp and just adding 1/3 cup grated cheddar or crumbled fetta and chopped chives or parsely to the mixture. You can also try a tbsp of finely chopped fresh chillies or chopped green olives. Also just to liven the taste of the plain or cheddar ones, try a pinch of cayenne pepper to give a little warmth. Great for picnics or or "bring a plate events". Make a simple tomato dipping sauce or guacomole to accompany it

This was a hit with my family, will try the suggestion Sue made and leave out the sugar and have it with hearty stew for winter.

Yummy

Very easy & wondering what variances I could now try, instead of the corn, but keeping all other ingredients - any suggestions?

Great!

Works well as a snack, filling and at least a bit healthy. But put them under a clean cloth when cool or they dry around the edges.

Delicious, quick & easy!

Would leave out the sugar, & could add corn kernals as a variation. Went well with baked lemon pepper chicken drumsticks & green beans!

Elisa, It's the third ingrediant to be added - after the flour and before the pinch of salt.
