Preheat your oven to 180°C and line your loaf tin with baking paper. This will make sure your mielie bread doesn't stick, and it's easier to get out later.

Grab your large mixing bowl, and combine the self-raising flour, salt, and sugar together. This mix is going to give our mielie bread that lovely, light texture.

Now let's bring in the sweetcorn. Add it to the dry mixture and give it a good stir. It's all about the mixing, folks!

In the medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter. We're making a tasty bath for our dry ingredients!

Time to merge everything together. Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until combined. Don't over mix; we want to keep the air in to make our mielie bread light and fluffy.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf tin and pop it in the oven for about 45-55 minutes. You'll know it's ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. That's the smell of success, mates!

Let your mielie bread cool in the tin for a few minutes, then gently remove and let it cool further on a wire rack.

Once it's cool enough to handle, slice up your mielie bread and serve it up!
