Dobby pls, is it to add eggs to hot melted butter? Wont it fry? Or I have to wait for d butter to cool down before addin d egg?
ReplyDeleteHi anon, leave it to cool a little before adding the eggs and milk.
DeleteDobby u are the bomb....
ReplyDeleteu nailed it, can i use margarine coz i dnt hv 600 to buy 200gram of butter.
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.
DeleteThanks dobby. Please what's corn meal and where can I get it?
ReplyDeleteHi 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")
DeleteThanks.
DeleteWow! Will definitley try this, looks inviting.. Pls ma'am can I use the normal peak milk?
ReplyDeleteYes you can use that. Just dilute with a little water and you're good to go
DeleteThis I like, thanks Dob-star.. Ticked on my To-Bake-list.

DeleteDefinitely 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?

ReplyDeleteHi 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.
DeleteLest I forget, how many grams s a cup of the cornflour?
ReplyDelete1 cup cornmeal equals 130grams

DeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
DeleteI 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.
