So it’s what I grew up with, which makes it an extra-simple comfort food to make for my own family these days.

I just wanted to say that the last time I looked at the ingredient list on the Jiffy cornbread box, it listed LARD. Its domed center had risen quite high, but when we took a piece out of the pan, the stodgy slice began to fall apart in our hands. It’s really some of the best homemade cornbread you’ll ever have, and starting with boxed Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix is so much easier than making it all from scratch. Combine 1/3 vegetable oil or melted butter, 1/3 cup milk and 2 eggs with DOUBLE this recipe (or two boxes of Jiffy cornbread muffin mix).The buttery, moist, and amazingly delicious cornbread has a crunchy crust and a moist center that will keep you coming back for more.

I did another thing of putting butter in the pan, melting it all around, putting the backing pan, (most of my cook ware is as well waiting to be unearthed if winter ever decides to give up the ghost this year and so by cookware, what I mean is one of those orange fry pans with a silver handle that looked to me could take being baked).

Jiffy corn muffin mix (also used for cornbread) was the first packaged corn muffin mix on the market, launching in 1930.
