secret ingredients
So you can keep those secrets, right? okay then here goes.
You will need
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 cup corn kernels ( I use frozen, you could probably use canned or fresh if you prefer)
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 box Jiffy yellow cake mix
then this is what you will do.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put both boxes of Jiffy, 2 eggs, and the milk in a bowl and whisk thoroughly, till there are barely any lumps. Then stir in the corn kernels. Next grab your cast iron skillet (I think I use a 10 inch, but it might be an 8 inch) and grease well (I spray mine with Pam for Baking). Bake for 30 minutes. Remove when firm. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan, turn out onto a plate, and then cut into 8 pieces.
Yummy, yummy!
I used to make my cornbread homemade, and my husband loved it. I messed up and used Jiffy once. Now, he doesn’t want it any other way! We love Jiffy. Your recipe looks great!
Sorry, I know Jiffy and I know Southern Corn Bread. They are not the same. LOL. I don’t like sweet corn bread. It just doesn’t taste right. Homemade is the cheapest way to go. Our eggs are so yellow they turn the corn bread yellow even though I use white corn meal. We like to add jalepena slices, cream cheese chunks, black olives. All kinds of ways to switch it up.
I make the same recipe (just minus the kernels)! Good to see I’m not alone in my sweet cornbread dreams.
GOOD idea to mix the two! If you have a Trader Joe’s, their box mix is unbelievable. Real corn kernals…
Wait!! That’s MY recipe! How did you get my top secret recipe?!
Yummmm, I might try this out someday, and when I say try this out, I really mean “I might steal this recipe”. Thanks for sharing!
I haven’t been lucky enough to have a trader Joes since 2003! And I do miss them! Especially their chinese chicken salad.
Ohhh, I had to dig through your archives to find this, because I got ridiculously excited in the store the other day when I finally found the jiffy cake mix. I can finally make this recipe. Woohoo!
