- Jiffy Cornbread mix: This mix can be easily found in your grocery store, it’s basically a mixture of traditional cornbread dry ingredients mixed together. It saves time, of having to measure ingredients.
- Large eggs at room temperature will expand under heat to give the cornbread volume and bind it together.
- Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, just add about a tablespoon of white vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice to a cup of regular milk and allow it to rest for 5 minutes
- Creamed corn, In this recipe, I used canned creamed corn but you are welcome to use homemade creamed corn.
- Sugar: I used white sugar but you can use brown sugar instead at a 1:1 ratio. I only used 1 tablespoon of white sugar but you can adjust this to suit your sugary taste preference.
- Butter: Please ensure that you melt your butter for better mixing with other wet ingredients

Hacks for making corn bread with jiffy cornbread mix with creamed corn
- Add an extra fat to your cornbread batter to make it less crumbly, great source of fat would be melted butter, vegetable oil and egg yolks.
- If you are not on a tight budget for time then soak your cornmeal mixture in buttermilk at room temperature ahead of time, it can be for a minimum of 2 hours to more.
- Preheat your pan at the same time as the oven, preheated baking pan helps the cornbread not to stick to the pan.
Storage guide
Put your leftover cornbread in an airtight container and put it in the fridge for 3 to 5 days, for extended periods then put it in a zip lock bag and then into the freezer for 1 to 3 months.
Reheating cornbread
Wrap the cornbread with a damp cloth then warm it in the microwave for up to 2 minutes or in a preheated oven
FAQ
Yes, cornbread freezes very well for up to 3 months. Wrap it with foil when you are reheating it so that it doesn’t lose its moist and end up being tough and dry
This creamed corn jiffy mix cornbread can stay at room temperature for 1 to 2 days but stays better in the fridge.
Yes, it should rise due to the use of baking powder as part of the ingredients. If it doesn’t rise it could be that there isn’t enough baking powder or the oven heat was not consistent.
In this recipe, I used a deep baking pan but you can use the traditional cast iron skillet. The cast iron skillet retains the heat and helps to perfect the delicious golden crust.
The best way is to preheat the baking pan or cast iron skillet before coating it with butter. Let it sit and cool down before attempting to take it out
