Hard to believe I made to 65yoa and never made cornbread. That's almost communist.

What’s wrong with Jiffy?

ETA
Add some jalapeño & canned sweet corn

My wife adds jalepenos to her cornbread. I find it makes it a lot better than your standard cornbread

By a few boxes of jiffy. You mix 3 ingredients & that’s it. Add a little sugar if you like it sweeter, taste batter to gauge,

I use two boxes Jiffy and add a small can of chilis.

Heat the iron skillet in oven first with some oil

I can eat Jiffy. Cornbread purist spurn it and I get that. But it’s easy and fills the need when you’re wanting cornbread.

However if you find Jiffy not sweet enough, and feel the need to add sugar to it, you might as well bake a pound cake or something and use it instead. That shite is sweet

Jiffy is way, way too sweet, it is made with mostly wheat flour and not cornmeal, and it’s from Michigan. If you use a mix, at least buy a packet of Martha White cornbread mix, sold in most stores in the south.

Here’s the MOST basic cornbread recipe you can possibly make: LINK from the Lodge cast iron website.

It’s definitely already sweet but it just depends what I eat it with if I sprinkle a little more sugar into it.

Just buy some cornmeal and follow the directions on the back of the package. I use to bake Jiffy all the time but found the basic cornbread recipe on the package more to my liking.

I also like to add some jalapeno peppers cut up and some cheddar cheese for some kick to it from time to time. That goes real good with red beans and rice on Mondays.


ETA: An old guy from central Texas showed me this one day when I was visiting him and he made cornbread.

He took his cast iron frying pan, put it on the stove to heat up and got it real hot and then poured about 3 tbsp. of bacon grease into it. The pan was hot enough that the bacon grease was smoking as he swirled it around the pan. Then he poured the cornbread batter in the pan and it got to sizzling as it crusted over a bit and then put it in the oven to finish off.

I've been doing that ever since.

This is my go-to for cornbread
1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup self-rising yellow corn meal
1 8.5oz can cream corn
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp veg oil
1 tsp sugar
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp chopped jalapeño
Mix all ingredients
Bake in greased 8” pan at 450 deg for 25-30 mins

jalapenos and for a little extra kick, pulverize a bag of hot pork skins and add it to the batter.

Put oil in cast iron skillet and put in oven while it preheats. When oven gets to temp. Remove cast iron and sprinkle bottom with cornmeal. Then add the corn meal recipe that follows.

Jiffy IS NOT cornbread!!!
Cornbread is not sweet, and Jiffy is nasty even if it wasn't sweet.

Yankee cornbread.
Real cornbread does not have sugar in it.

Whichever recipe you use, replace the vegetable oil with bacon grease. Good luck.

Add sugar to Jiffy? What are you making, a cornbread cake?
