Corn bread

Lesley Waters from Good Food Live
Best served warm from the oven, Lesley Waters's recipe for a classic American corn bread makes a great side-dish

Corn bread

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas 6. Generously butter a shallow tin (around 25cm long) or a small roasting tin.

2. In a large bowl combine the cornmeal, flour and bicarbonate of soda and season well with salt and freshly ground pepper.

3. In a jug combine the egg, milk and yogurt and chillies .

4. Pour the contents of the jug into the bowl of dry ingredients and lightly combine, taking care not to over-mix as this will make the corn bread tough.

5. Pour the mixture into the buttered tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm and golden. Serve warm from the oven, cut into squares.
