These mini cornbreads are wonderful served with soup. They are very quick and simple to make. If you are not a fan of olives, just leave them out or use an alternate topping of your choice. If you are not on a gluten free diet, then you can use regular self-raising flour and omit the xanthan gum. My family tell me that the regular flour version taste even better than the gluten free one that I can eat. Ingredients:
1 cup coarse polenta (cornmeal) |
1 cup gluten-free self-raising flour (or regular sr flour) |
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if not using gluten-free flour) |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons milk |
100 g butter, melted |
1 egg, lightly whisked |
1 cup cheddar cheese, coarsely grated |
1/2 cup drained stuffed green olive, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Combine the polenta, flour, xanthan and salt in a large bowl.
3. Add milk, melted butter and egg. Stir until combined.
4. Stir in cheddar cheese.
5. Spoon mixture among 8 250ml (1 cup) capacity mini-loaf pans and smooth over the surface. Top with sliced olives. You can use muffin pans or friand pans if you do not have the correct tins.
6. Bake in preheated oven 25-30 minutes.
7. Turn onto a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
8. Best eaten the day they are cooked but can be warmed in the microwave if eating the next day.
9. You can use any topping of choice. Chargrilled capsicums (peppers) are also a good topping.
