Ingredients
- 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, egg, milk, and melted butter. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
- Add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the batter if you prefer a sweeter cornbread.
- For a cheesy cornbread, stir in 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the batter before baking.
- Don’t overmix the batter; this can lead to tough cornbread.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with butter, honey, or maple syrup.
- It’s a fantastic side dish for chili, barbecue, fried chicken, or pulled pork.
- Crumble it into a hearty soup for added texture.
Storage Tips
Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
FAQ
Can I use a different size pan?
Yes, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan or a cast-iron skillet. Adjust baking time accordingly; it may bake slightly faster in a round pan or skillet.
