How to Make Cornbread Mieliebrood

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 (15 ounce) can of whole kernel sweet corn, drained.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or your favorite topping!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
