Microwave Volcano Mealie Bread

Serves 8 as a side

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 420g tin of cream-style sweetcorn
  • 2 eggs
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sunflower oil
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sugar
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) salt
  • 500 ml (2 cups) self-raising flour
  • 250 ml (1 cup) cheddar, grated

 

 

Method:

  1. Combine the sweetcorn, eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Stir in the flour. Pour into a 21 cm silicon ring cake mould.
  2. Microwave for about 8 minutes or until a testing skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs. Turn the bread out onto a microwave-safe serving dish.

Serving suggestions:

  • Use a blowtorch to char the melted cheese, if you like.
