Spicy Sweetcorn and Cheese Loaf - The Gardening Foodie

Ingredients

2 cups / 350g fresh or frozen sweetcorn coated in 1 tablespoon of flour
4 cups / 500g all purpose or cake flour
4 teaspoons / 16g baking powder
4 to 6 chives or scallions finely chopped
1 cup / 113g / 4oz grated cheese
Dried chili flakes use according to taste
2 teaspoons fine salt
2 eggs
½ cup / 125ml melted butter
2 cups / 500ml buttermilk
½ cup / 125ml milk

Instructions

Grease and line a loaf pan. SEE NOTE 1
In a bowl, mix the coated sweetcorn with the flour, baking powder ,chives or scallions, cheese,chilli flakes and salt. ( Dry ingredients )
Whisk eggs, melted butter, buttermilk,and milk together. ( Wet ingredients )
Stir wet ingredients through dry ingredients. Mix only until the mixture is combined. Do not overmix. Overmixing the batter will cause the loaf to have a dry texture.
Pour into prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven of 350°F/180°C for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and brush the top of the loaf with about 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
This recipe can make either two 9x5 inch / 23x13cm ( 2 lb) loaves or 1 large 13x5 inch / 35x14 loaf (3 lb)

Recipe Notes

1.For this recipe I used my 3lb traditional deep farmhouse loaf pan which measures approximately 13x5x3 inches ( 35x14x10cm). If you do not have a pan which is this size, then you can divide the mixture in half and use 2 square or round 9inch / 23cm pans.
