RITA'S SELF-RISING CORNBREAD MIX
We went camping a lot with our family. I found that pre-mixed items worked so much better for us. Yet I also found that I liked using them at home as well. Also my food budget made difference on what kind of milk I used for this as well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F Mix Jiffy, milk, and egg in a small bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well blended but not over beaten/mixed. Place into an 8x8 baking dish (or cake pan) and bake for 15-20 minutes. (This step is all from package directions).
- Remove from oven and immediately spread the butter over top of cornbread until butter is melted and bread is fully coated on top.
- Immediately cover with aluminum foil, creating a tight seal around the pan. Wait 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- The foil steams in the butter and makes a normally gritty cornbread nice and smooth and creamy. The leftovers (if any), also keep better as it retains it's moisture. Simply microwave any leftover slices for about 20 seconds and serve!

HONEY MOIST CORNBREAD MIX
I am putting together a chapter of homemade mixes in a cookbook that I am working on. I wanted to include a corn bread mix, so I got my very favorite corn bread recipe and turned it into a mix.

Steps:
- 1. Combine ingredients for the mix and sift or whisk together thoroughly, throughout. Pour into a Zip-Lock bag, and seal. Label the bag with the name of the mix, the Instructions (to make the mix, below) and the date you are packing it.
- 2. INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE MIX: Shake up this bagged mix really well. Pour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Prepare a 9 x 17 inch pan or a jelly roll pan by spraying with vegetable spray. Preheat oven to: 400 degrees.
- 3. In another bowl, mix thoroughly: 4 eggs, slightly beaten 2 cups of whipping cream or evaporated milk 1/2 cup of honey 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening, melted
- 4. Pour wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients, and stir JUST UNTIL MOISTENED! Batter should be lumpy.
- 5. Pour into the prepared pan, spreading batter as evenly as possible. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and firm on top. Allow to sit until cool enough to serve.
Tips:
- Use buttermilk or yogurt for a moist and tender cornbread. The acidity in buttermilk or yogurt helps to create a reaction with the baking soda, which results in a light and fluffy texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough and dense cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread to rise quickly and evenly.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Cornbread is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cornbread every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cornbread a try!
