Description
On nights my mom made chili, it was my job to make the cornbread. 1 box of Jiffy, 1 egg, and a bit of milk. I like my cornbread sweet because of it. I can’t have it any other way. If you close you eyes, you might think you’re biting into an original Jiffy Cornbread muffin. This recipe comes together nearly as fast as the box. You’ll most likely beat the oven preheat time. If serving a crowd, double or triple the recipe.
Ingredients
Dry
2/3 c. all purpose unbleached flour
1/2 c. finely ground cornmeal, non GMO
scant 1/4 c. pure cane sugar

1/8 tsp. baking soda
Wet
1/2 c. whole milk
2 tbsp. oil, mild-tasting
1 large egg

1 tbsp. salted butter
