raisin and chocolate chip cornbread

I had originally planned to bake a simple cornbread. However, when I found some balance raisins and semi-sweet chocolate chips in our refrigerator, I improvised and baked raisin and chocolate chip cornbread instead.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can easily improvise and create new types of cornbread.

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup castor sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 cup sunflower oil
1 cup milk
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup raisins

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius.

2. Grease and flour an 8" x 8" square baking pan.

3. Sift the plain flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until just combined. The mixture will be lumpy.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

5. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cornbread comes out clean.
