Whoever invented corn bread is a total genius i tell you. Yesterday, I was searching for something new and totally different in taste from the various breads when I stumbled on this recipe. It could be quite difficult deciding what to have for breakfast so this definitely came in handy. Corn bread is a type of bread made with cornmeal and a mixture of other ingredients. Unlike the normal bread you’re used to, it’s a little bit more like crumbly cake. The taste is simply out of this world and the aroma it leaves the house with is better experienced than explained.
One of my new year resolutions is to do more baking tutorials as most of you have been requesting for so you’d definitely be seeing more of that this year especially since the first birthday celebration in the fam is coming up pretty soon. I love parties and i definitely can’t wait :D. Here’s a quick and easy tutorial on how to make cornbread with or without an oven

Hi anon, leave it to cool a little before adding the eggs and milk.
Wow! Will definitley try this, looks inviting.. Pls ma'am can I use the normal peak milk?
Thanks dobby. Please what's corn meal and where can I get it?
Dobby u are the bomb….
u nailed it, can i use margarine coz i dnt hv 600 to buy 200gram of butter.
This I like, thanks Dob-star.. Ticked on my To-Bake-list.
Looks like what we call Banana loaf here tho.
Lest I forget, how many grams s a cup of the cornflour?
Definitely going to try this but please what do you mean by corn flour? Just ground corn or what and where can one get it? And in mixing the milk, what s the ratio of water to the milk. Finally, like someone asked, can margarine be used in place of butter?

Dobby whr have u bin all my life?.nice work girl.
Thanks Chioma :), Yes you can use margarine but it won't taste the same. The cornbread made with butter is totally different from that made with margarine in taste.
Hi Destiny, You can get corn meal by grinding dry yellow/white corn till smooth but it won't be as fine as wheat flour (The type used for baking bread also known as "all purpose flour")
Yes you can use that. Just dilute with a little water and you're good to go
Do keep us posted angie 😉
Hi jenny, To get corn meal, simply grind dry corn till fine. The powdered milk to water ratio to use is:1/3 cup dry instant cow's milk powder per 1 cup of water. Yes you can use margarine in place of butter but the taste would be totally different.
1 cup cornmeal equals 130grams
Thanks michie 🙂

Thanks for sharing the recipe with us, Dobby. I'll surely try out this recipe. However, could you please give us the measurement of ALL the ingredients in grams? I don't have the standard measuring cups. Thanks a million
you're welcome joi, glad the ginger beer turned out great. No you can't use wheat flour in place of cornmeal. Cornmeal is the main ingredient.
i sure will Anon during one of my cooking sessions 😀
1 cup = 226.8g

This is lovely!! What other meals can be prepared with cornmeal. Is cornmeal same as cornflour? I have used cornflour in thickening a sauce. Keep up the good work Dobs!
Hi Zeezee, Do you mean Cornmeal and cornstarch? Cornmeal is dry whole corn which has been ground (Yellow in colour if you use yellow corn). Cornstarch is which in colour (like starch) and used as a thickener.
I baked this today and my son told me he couldn't believe corn meal could taste so good when baked. Thank you Dobby, I am learning alot from you.
Thanks for the feedback Anon 🙂
Am confused, is it just the butter dats done on the stove top or the entire recipe is done on the stove top.
Am confused, so the mixing of the ingredient is done on the stove top or just the melting of the butter thats done on the stove top.
Hi Unknown, just the melting of the butter
