FRESH CORN PARCELS
Good afternoon Food Lovers
This is my quickest version of my Grandmother fresh mealie bread
She used to grind the mealies on a stone and cooked the bread in a three legged black pot on an open fire
Those are my beautiful memories
4 fresh mealies cut off the cob ( reserve the husks for later use)
1 cup cake flour
15 ml baking powder
5 ml salt
5 ml sugar
125 ml milk
4 strings
Using a food processor lightly crush the mealies.
Mix with the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
For each parcel use 4 husks.
Lay the husks to make a blanket for each parcel and make sure that the husks overlap.
Spoon 2 tablespoons on each blanket.
Wrap and tie with a string.
Steam over boilng water for 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
Serve hot or cold with tomato and onion African relish ( Bisto).
Enjoy.
