Here's how to make it:

Yields: 8 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20-25 minutes

Jiffy Cornbread Ingredients:

• 1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup milk (whole milk is recommended for richness)
• 1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
• Optional add-ins (see suggestions below)

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven and Grease Your Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan (or a similar-sized pan) with cooking spray, butter, or shortening.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

Step 3: Add the Creamed Corn

Pour in the entire can of creamed corn into the bowl with the egg and milk. Stir to combine. The mixture will look a little lumpy, and that's okay!

Step 4: Add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

Pour the contents of the Jiffy cornbread box into the wet ingredients.

Step 5: Gently Mix the Batter

Stir the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tougher cornbread. A few small lumps are perfectly fine.

Step 6: Pour into the Prepared Pan

Pour the cornbread batter evenly into your greased baking pan.

Step 7: Bake Until Golden Brown

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be nicely golden brown.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm!

Answers to Your Questions:

What do you add to jiffy corn muffin mix?

You can add a variety of ingredients to Jiffy corn muffin mix to enhance its flavor and texture. Some popular additions include:

• Dairy: Milk (whole milk, buttermilk), sour cream, yogurt, melted butter.
• Eggs: Often already called for, but sometimes an extra yolk can add richness.
• Flavor enhancers: Cheese, cooked bacon, chopped vegetables (onions, peppers, jalapeños), herbs, spices, honey, maple syrup, extracts.
• Texture enhancers: Creamed corn, extra corn kernels, fruit (like blueberries or cranberries for a sweeter version).

What is the secret to making good cornbread?

The secret to making good cornbread lies in a few key factors:

• Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing develops gluten, which can make the cornbread tough. Mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
• Use good quality ingredients: While Jiffy is convenient, using fresh, high-quality add-ins will significantly improve the final product.
• Don't overbake: Overbaked cornbread will be dry. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Proper pan preparation: Greasing the pan well prevents sticking and helps the cornbread develop a nice crust.
• Consider the fat content: Adding a little extra fat (like melted butter or sour cream) can contribute to a moister crumb.

What is Jiffy mix made of?

Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix typically contains:

• Wheat flour
• Degermed yellow corn meal
• Sugar
• Shortening (partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils)
• Leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda)
• Salt
• Monoglycerides

What can I use instead of JIFFY corn mix?

If you don't have Jiffy corn mix on hand or want a more from-scratch approach (similar to a Jiffy cornbread copycat recipe), you can make your own cornbread mix using:

• Cornmeal (medium or fine ground)
• All-purpose flour
• Sugar
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Shortening or oil (for a longer shelf life if making a dry mix)

You would then combine these dry ingredients and use a recipe that calls for a similar ratio of wet ingredients (eggs, milk, melted butter or oil) to create the batter. There are many excellent from-scratch cornbread recipes available online that will guide you through the process.
