This humble bread is quick and easy to make and always a winner.
It is a great side dish for any “braai”, also perfect with a little grated cheese for a simple lunch, or served with
Lamb chops or kebabs for supper with a salad on the side.
The texture of the cornmeal in this bread is wonderful and is greatly complimented by the sweet taste of the corn.
The original recipe calls for 60-100ml of sugar, which tends to be too sweet for my liking, adjust to own taste.
