What Is Your Favorite CornBread Mix? Login/Join 
אַרְיֵה

I tried baking cornbread for the first time, last week. Used KrustEaz mix per directions, cast iron skillet.

Flavor was good, consistency was a bit on the tough side. Did I do something wrong for the tough consistency? Is there a better mix that I should try?

While not a connoisseur, Jiffy or the Krusteau you mentioned seem reliable, especially with a can of creamed or regular corn added. Big Grin

Did a quick search... these links might prove interesting:

Somewhat local to me, well about 60 miles.
I volunteer with the fish fry our little community organization does, and their Hushpuppy mix is what we use, and we get plenty of compliments on the Hushpuppys.

Weisenberger Mills, family owned for 6 generations, since 1865.

If not available in local stores, can order from them, also on Amazon.

(No affiliation with them).

That said Jeffy cornbread mix has always been good, heck that is what my mom used most of the time.

Weisenberger Mills is better, plus they have different things, cornbread (white and yellow). Hushpuppy, spoonbread, fish batter mix, funnel cake mix,

If I buy store bought mix (which is rare) I like the Central Market Cheddar Jalapeño mix.

We’ve always used Jiffy. Simple, easy, and even I can’t mess it up.
Great with lots of butter, and ham and beans on top.

Yep that's where I've bought it, great stuff, and get unbolted if you want to try true old school southern cornbread, and use buttermilk !


Cornbread, Muffins or Sticks

1 3/4 Cups of Weisenberger Plain Cornmeal
1 Egg 1 ½ Cups Buttermilk (to use sweet milk, omit sugar)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon soda

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Mix dry ingredients then add beaten egg. Pour in Buttermilk. Fill pans after a generous greasing.

Bake 15 minutes in 500 deg. oven.

Check the date, the leavening isn’t forever. It might be that simple.
I’ve used Jiffy forever, but Famous Dave’s is good. I prefer a sweeter style though.

If you’re willing to stir pan, stop with the concept of “mix”.

Jiffy!
However, I’ll use buttermilk instead of regular milk, toss about a tablespoon or two of honey in there too.

Most days I bake some Betty Crocker Garlic Cheese Biscuits, or Marie Callender's Corn Bread. I buy it at my grocery store, but here’s the Amazon URL:

www.amazon.com/dp/B0014CVTO4/r..._api_i_3UT7EbQ67SF82

I ABHOR sweet cornbread, and Marie Callender's mix is less sweet than any other that I’ve tried. “Just add water” – powdered egg yolk is in the mix.



Serious about crackers

I think many of us just go with what we grew up with. This is why I use Aunt Jemima Yellow Corn Meal with the recipe (minus the sugar) on the back. Cooked in the same cast iron skillet that I grew up eating from. I still cannot believe my older brothers did not want those cast iron pans.

I grew up on my mama's cornbread.

She used either non PC Aunt Jemima or Quaker Enriched corn meal. And all purpose flour, baking powder, salt,milk,some oil, eggs.

NO SUGAR my daddy said if he wanted cake he would eat cake.

And bake it in a black iron skillet.

. Since I have Celiac (Gluten) problems I use the Gluten free Krusteaz and my wife thinks it taste better than the regular mix.
