How to make Jiffy Cornbread Better? Jiffy Cornbread is delicious. But with a couple simple additions you can make it even better.
We love the convenience of Jiffy brand cornbread mix. It is so fast and easy to whip up a batch when we make chili or ribs or fish or… You will be amazed at how much tastier it can be with these couple of tips.
What you need
- Jiffy cornbread mix – 2 boxes. You can use another brand, if you can’t find Jiffy but we prefer Jiffy. There are some good gluten free cornbread mixes on the market too.
- creamed corn – make sure that the creamed corn you buy is only corn and doesn’t have any cream or milk.
- buttermilk – if you don’t have buttermilk on hand add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes. You essentially have buttermilk. (whole milk is better than skimmed)
- honey – use local honey if you can find it.
- eggs – large eggs are best.
- chives – optional but tasty.
How to make it
- Empty cornbread mix into large bowl.
- Add creamed corn.
- Add buttermilk, honey and eggs.
- Mix well.
- Add chives.
- Fold in.
- Spray 8″x 8″ / 20×20 cm baking pan with non stick spray or butter it well. Pour in batter.
- Bake at 400°F / 200°C for 25-30 minutes until top is golden brown and toothpick or cake tester poked in middle of bread comes out clean.
Variations on cornbread additions
- Add 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Omit chives and add other fresh herbs like parsley
- Add finely sliced green onion tops
- Add finely chopped jalapeño peppers
- Try adding crispy bacon or ham
- Finely dice roasted red pepper.
