Southern style Cornbread is good, sure, but growing up my mom always made cornbread from the Jiffy brand box mix. That sweet hint to the Cornbread is what I'm so accustomed to that any other Cornbread seems bland by comparison, except this recipe. Fluffy, moist, and just the right amount of sweetness to bring it all together. Like Jiffy, but we think even better!

2 1/2 cupsmilk
2/3 cupwhite sugar
1/2 cupvegetable oil or melted butter
2large eggs
2 cupsall purpose flour
1 1/2 cupscornmeal
1 tbsbaking powder
1 tspsalt

Cooking Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
2

In a large bowl vigorously wisk together milk, sugar, eggs, and oil/butter.
3

In a separate bowl wisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
4

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Note: Batter will be lumpy and that's ok. Over-mixing will make tough cornbread.
5

Transfer to baking dish. Let rest 10 minutes before placing in oven. This actually creates a fluffier cornbread.
6

Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.

I really do enjoy a good cornbread. I noticed when I get cornbread from the supermarket, it’s moist, almost cake-like. Delicious. When I make cornbread from home, boxed, it tastes a little grainy even when I follow the directions to the T. By adding and altering an ingredient, I was able to achieve a moist cornbread.*** I noticed that I had evaporated milk in the ingredients list and I totally meant condensed milk. I apologize to anyone if it turned out lousy with evaporated milk. If it turned out good... you’re welcome.

This recipe is based on a recipe by KeyToMyLime.com and the many skillet corn bread recipes I found on Food Network. Sweet and spicy, moist and flavorful, it's a great accompaniment to our spicy Instapot chili.We make our own copycat Jiffy Muffin Mix to forgo the lard in the boxed version, but the boxes work just fine.

Just plain cornbread doesn't do it for us. A bit of zip makes it more fun to eat. I keep a box of mix in my pantry so if the urge hits, we can have this almost in an instant. Great side to chilli, meatloaf or a roast chicken. Enjoy the taste and simplicity.

Very flexible recipe. We usually add diced peppers for a little heat. NOTE: You can make your own buttermilk by adding a couple tablespoons of white vinegar to the milk and letting it curdle for ~10 min. Or you can just use milk.

This is my grandma's recipe, it's different from american cornbread; I never tried it sweet. I usually eat it with yoghurt or soup
