These are so moreish, you won't be able to stop at one .... or two !
Mealie Meal Muffins
1 cup Mealie Meal
1 cup Flour
½ tsp Salt
4 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Sugar
3 tbsp melted Butter (or Margarine)
1 cup Milk
1 Egg, beaten
Sift together the Mealie Meal, Flour, Salt, Baking Powder & Sugar. Mix the melted butter, milk & beaten egg together and add to the dry ingredients. Mix well but do not over mix (the batter may still be a little lumpy, but this is fine). Spoon in to muffin tins and bake at 200’C/400’F/Gas Mark 6 for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 12.
This is what I made our visitors for morning tea today. Served hot out of the oven I served some of them with grated cheese and the others with strawbery jam. They were delicious !
I plan to feature Mealie Meal recipes from time to time as they seem to be quite popular and there do not seem to be a huge number of them available out there in ‘cyberspace’. Mealie Meal is also a typically African ingredient, which people may find interesting to read about. (As it is made from ground maize/corn I am sure that you could substitute it with something like polenta ?)
If you’d like to try my Mealie Meal Crumble Pap recipe you can find it here and if you’d like to try an easy and delicious Mealie Meal Bread recipe you can find it here.
This recipe, for Mealie Meal Muffins, also comes from the famous South African cookbook “Cook and Enjoy It” by S.J.A. de Villiers.
