Gran’s mealie loaf

This recipe combines the concept of a traditional South African mealie bread with a few extra ingredients for a scrumptious bite to share at the braai.

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups lightly packed self-raising flour

2 beaten eggs

1 tin sweetcorn

¾ cup evaporated milk

100 grams grated cheese

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 tablespoon chopped chives or onion

5 rashers chopped, fried bacon

2 tablespoons oil

Salt to taste

METHOD:

Beat the eggs, milk, oil and salt together. Blend in the remaining ingredients. Pour mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 45 minutes to an hour (until done). If you are in a hurry, place mixture into a microwave safe dish and cook on 70 per cent power for 12 minutes.
