Ingredients
Jiffy Cornbread Mix
- 2 – 8.5 oz. boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Others
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure the baking dish will be hot enough to create a nice crust and perfect texture for the cornbread.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the cornbread from sticking and to help with browning on the edges.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine both boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, 2 eggs, 2/3 cup milk, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir everything together with a spoon until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it out if necessary for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cornbread is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving. This cornbread is delicious warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- If you prefer a less sweet cornbread, reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon or omit it entirely.
- Sour cream adds moisture and tenderness; you can substitute it with Greek yogurt if desired.
- For a crispier crust, use a cast-iron skillet instead of a baking dish.
- Leftover cornbread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- This cornbread pairs excellently with chili, soups, or barbecue dishes.
