My wife usually makes the cornbread but she is out of town.

I hear that making it with sweet frozen corn is better than the recipes with cream corn.

Anyone have a good recipe?

I searched recipe sites but they are so slammed with pop ups and advertising that it pisses me off to the point of abandonment. Backup plan is to use the recipe on the bag of corn meal.

Will everyone be drunk? If so, just do whatever and you'll be a winner.

If you use a box of Jiffy, the instructions will be on the side of the box.. add a tablespoon of butter and 2 tbsp of sour cream to the mix.

2 Boxes of Jiffy will fill a #11 black iron skillet and serve 8.

I grew up that stuff, but like Kraft Mac-n-cheese I no longer eat it. Pretty sure the wife has everything in the kitchen I need.

Dad always used bacon grease/drippings instead of oil and butter.

And preheat your pan/skillet before pouring in the mixture.

That’s the way his mother taught him after raising 10 kids.

There are three or four recipes in the cookbooks in the stickied first post of this board. I'd go with MD's.

Jiffy. Preferably in a 75+ year old cast iron pan, but any pan will do.

Preheat the pan, or pans, depending on how much you make, with bacon grease or butter.

Mix with milk, or buttermilk.

Add canned cream corn, frozen thawed corn, jalapeño, garlic, whatever to taste.

First off, how much cornbread are you talking about having to make?

The recipe I use is:
1 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
3 Tablespoons flour
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp baking soda
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons bacon drippings
2 cups buttermilk

Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, bacon drippings (after heated in skillet) and stir well until blended. Heat cast iron skillet on stove top with small amount of bacon drippings. Pour cornbread mixture into skillet and place in preheated 425 degree oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.

The recipe on a bag of White Lilly cornmeal is what I use. For chili I would make Mexican cornbread.

Jiffy. One small can of cream corn. 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños or one can green chilis, one cup shredded cheddar, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, milk to desired thickness, two tablespoons melted butter.

Cook in 8 inch skillet till done, takes a while with all the added ingredients

If you want to make more triple it and cook in a 9x13 Pyrex.

Heat vessel prior with some kinda fat in it.

I was raised on Jiffy and have used it forever but lately I tried Krusteaz Southern Cornbread mix and it's the best I've ever had. Just follow the recipe on the box.
