Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Generously butter a 25cm x 16cm baking tin or shallow roasting tray. Combine the semolina or polenta, flour and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl and season. In a jug, combine the egg, milk, buttermilk or yogurt and chillies.

  • step 2

    Pour the contents of the jug into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir lightly to combine. Do not over stir as this will cause the bread to be tough. Pour the batter into the tin and bake in the oven for 35-40 mins until firm and golden on top. Cut the warm cornbread into pieces to serve. Serve immediately or leave to cool and re-heat, wrapped in foil. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.

The cornbread tasted really unpleasant and like another reviewer we wondered whether it was the bicarbonate of soda. It just tasted very weird and almost chemically. We wouldn't use this recipe again.

I'm sorry to say this cornbread tasted really unpleasant. Not just bland but quite nasty. Possibly the bicarb?

I think the measurements are wrong. I made exactly according to recipe, and the batter was thin like pancake batter. I cooked it for recommended time and it was just a hot floury soup after 40 minutes. Had to throw away. Complete waste of time and money.

Highly disappointing, with nothing particularly nice about it despite using recommendations to enhance the flavour provided by other users below...... I suggest searching for an alternative recipe as this is distinctly lacking in flavour. It's a zero from me.

This was quick to make and a popular accompaniment to soup. After reading the comments I added 1.5 tsp salt and 3 tbsp chopped coriander, which gave it good flavour. I used 2 medium eggs as I didn't have large ones and 1 tsp chilli flakes instead of the fresh chilli. I'll definitely make it again.
