Baker's block

I've had baker's block [writer's block for bakers] for the past few weeks and it has been rather painful. Today was the first time in a while that I've been really inspired to make something just for the hell of it. So I made cornbread :-)

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups self raising flour (you'll need more for kneading)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• teaspoon of herbs (I used oreganum and parsley)
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• pinch of salt
• 3/4 cup canned corn

Method

• Preheat oven to 160C
• In a large bowl, sift the flour and salt
• add the mixed herbs
• In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, corn and buttermilk together
• Add this to the flour and mix well (I kneaded the bread for a few minutes until the dough was a smooth texture
• Roll into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes

I had mine with a chunky beef and veggie soup. I died and came to with a smile... :-)
