Let's whip up some delicious Jiffy cornbread! This is such a simple recipe, and it creates a moist, rich outcome. We'll even experiment with a creamed corn version for double yum.

Jiffy Cornbread Ingredients:

Gather your simple ingredients first:
1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
(Optional for extra moisture and flavor): 1 can (14.75 ounces) creamed corn
(Optional for richness): 1/4 cup sour cream

Step 1: Heat Your Oven and Prepare the Pan

Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or oven-safe pan of equivalent size.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. If you are using sour cream, combine it now until smooth.

Step 3: Add Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

Add the whole contents of the Jiffy cornbread box to the bowl of wet ingredients.

Step 4: Gently Fold the Batter

Combine the ingredients until they are just combined. Don't overmix—a few lumps are okay. Overmixing will result in a denser cornbread.

Step 5: Add Creamed Corn (Optional)

When using creamed corn to prepare Jiffy cornbread, gently fold in the can of creamed corn into the batter until it's fully incorporated.

Step 6: Pour into Prepared Pan

Pour the batter evenly into your prepared, greased pan.

Step 7: Bake Until Golden Brown

Bake at the preheated setting for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Allow the cornbread to rest in the pan for several minutes before cutting and serving. Your delicious Jiffy cornbread is now ready to be enjoyed.

Jiffy Cornbread Casserole Recipe Idea:

To create a Jiffy cornbread casserole, layer the cornbread batter with additional ingredients like cooked ground meat, cheese, beans, or vegetables to bake. This makes a simple side dish a complete meal.

Best Jiffy Cornbread Recipe Tips:

Avoid overmixing the batter.
A spoonful of creamed corn or sour cream provides moisture and taste.
If you desire a sweeter cornbread, you can also include a spoon of sugar in the batter.
