Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (8.5 oz)
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk (whole milk for richness)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for extra moisture)
Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:
- ¼ cup sour cream (makes it extra moist)
- ¼ cup honey (for sweet cornbread)
- ½ cup corn kernels (for texture)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for cheesy cornbread)
- 1 teaspoon diced jalapeño (for a spicy kick)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish or muffin tin.
2. Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, egg, milk, and melted butter until just combined (do not overmix).
3. Add Moisture & Flavor (Optional)
- Stir in sour cream, honey, corn kernels, or shredded cheese for added texture and taste.
4. Bake the Cornbread
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool & Serve
- Let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
Notes
✅ Use Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt – This makes the cornbread extra moist and rich.
✅ Don’t Overmix the Batter – Stir just until combined to keep it light and fluffy.
✅ Bake in a Cast-Iron Skillet – For a crispy, golden crust, bake in a preheated skillet.
✅ Adjust the Sweetness – Add honey or sugar for a sweeter cornbread, or reduce sugar for a savory version.
✅ Let It Rest – Cooling for a few minutes prevents crumbling when slicing.
