Preparation 30 minutes

Cooking 40-45 minutes

Makes approx. 20 pieces

  • 100g TREX
  • 375g plain flour
  • 200g fine polenta
  • 1tsp salt
  • 4tsp baking powder
  • 110g caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 4tbsp natural yogurt
  • 400ml milk
  • 198g can sweetcorn, drained

To serve:

  • Ripe avocados
  • Crispy bacon rashers
  • Finely sliced red chilli (optional)

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan oven 180°C, Gas Mark 6. Lightly grease a 25 x 30cm baking tin or roasting tin with TREX and line with baking paper.

2 In a large mixing bowl, beat together the TREX, flour, polenta, salt, sugar, eggs, yogurt and milk to give a smooth batter. Stir in the sweetcorn.

3 Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch. Cool in the tin.

4 Serve each portion with mashed avocado and crispy bacon rashers, with a little fresh red chilli, if you like.

Cook’s tips:

Measure the TREX into your mixing bowl and allow it to come to room temperature for a few minutes so that mixing is easier.

Wrap the cornbread in greaseproof paper or foil and keep it in an airtight tin in a cool place for up to 5 days. If you wish, freeze some of the cornbread for up to 3 months.
