Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 1/2 ounce) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
aluminum foil (to cover pan)

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!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 box jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs
2/3 c milk
1 can(s) creamed corn
1 stick butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all the ingredients posted above.
  • 2. Pour in to a lightly greased 9 x 13" pan.
  • 3. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cornmeal: For the best texture and flavor, use a medium or coarse-ground cornmeal. Fine-ground cornmeal will result in a denser bread.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a slight tang and richness to the bread. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use fresh baking powder: Old baking powder can result in a flat or dense bread. Make sure to check the expiration date on your baking powder before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough bread. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the bread to rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to 400°F before baking the bread.

Conclusion:

Jiffy cornbread is a quick and easy bread that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful cornbread that is perfect for any occasion.
