Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups sweetcorn kernels (drained, if canned)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, and whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Stir in the sweetcorn kernels and grated cheese, ensuring they are well coated with the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
