- Eggs – Binds the ingredients together and gives the cornbread structure.
- Creamed corn – Canned creamed corn is typically dairy-free, just check the can to make sure!

Why Use A Cast Iron Skillet?
When it comes to making corn bread, baking Jiffy cornbread in a cast iron skillet or casserole dish bakes it the best.
The edges and bottom are crispy and the middle is spongy and soft. A little trick is to stick the cast iron skillet in the oven to preheat. Remove it when it’s hot, spray the oil, and then pour it into the batter. This will make the bottom even crispier.

Can I Freeze This?

This is the best cornbread mix I have ever had,try it and then tell me it isn’t!
Larlie Crawford says
Yummy! My batter was a bit dry. Could I add more creamed corn? I used cooking oil not butter. The cornbread was still delicious but a little crumbly .
Renae says
I wouldn’t add more creamed corn. If you can use melted butter or add a tablespoon or two of water.
Lisa says
These were delish! Thank you for sharing a simplified version that anyone can whip up. Our batter was on the dry side so we added a splash of half’n half. Baked up quickly, then dressed each warm muffin with honey butter. I usually make mine from scratch using buttermilk, chopped jalapeño, buttermilk, cream corn & grated cheese however, these my dear worked out well for a quick side to go with our smoked ribs.
