Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray
  • 115g (3/4 cup) plain flour
  • 140g (3/4 cup) instant polenta (cornmeal)
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Method


  • Preheat a 25cm (base measurement) heavy skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Spray the base and side with oil.


  • Combine the flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk, stock and butter. Add the egg and corn and stir until just combined.


  • Pour the mixture over the base of the skillet and spread to the edges. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and set.
