I don't like Jiffy cornbread mix

[debodun]

It's too sweet. I prefer a more savory style cornbread. When I make it I put a little sugar, but also shredded cheese, herbs and spices. It would not be to everyone's taste, but that's the way I like it. I remember when Jiffy put out a whole assortment of baking mixes, now I only see corn muffin and blueberry muffin mix in the store.

I usually make mine from scratch, but you can add pretty much whatever you like to the box mix. I like to add a few tablespoons of chili sauce or salsa....depends on the main dish.

If you add a tablespoon of something acidic, like vinegar, it might cut the sweetness.

Is this a poor time to mention i actually add sugar?

Everyone prefers different recipes.

I make my own buttermilk by putting a tablespoon of vinegar in the milk.

My wife adds a can of creamed corn(sometimes frozen) plus a small can of diced mild green chilis. Knowing her, she probably adds sugar too.

I love Jiffy cornbread, as-is or dressed up.

Sometimes I add some yogurt or sour cream, a can of creamed corn and a little sugar along with the egg and milk and it makes a decent corn pudding.

I'm going to use Nathan's wife's recipe and add some green chilis next time.

I prefer lightly sweetened cornbread so Jiffy is fine for me. When I worked in Arkansas many years ago, I learned to enjoy sugarless cornbread which is what most cafes in the area served at that time.

I prefer white cornmeal bread with bacon drippings.

For a box mix, Marie Callenders makes a very good cornbread.

I've been buying this brand at Kroger:

I think it's delicious, very soft and just a tiny bit sweet.

There are so many corn bread mixes out there - one for everyone.

I line the muffin pan with bacon. Add one are sauteed onions, corn, cheese, pieces of ham, jalapenos.

Morrison's Corn Kits have always been my favorite. They are not sweet.

Jiffy doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is.

I’ve used it with good results and I also used the cake mixes when they were available.

I prefer scratch corn bread, no sugar.

These days it’s easier and more cost effective to keep a few pouches of various mixes on the emergency shelf as opposed to stocking a full pantry.

“JIFFY” Mixes | "JIFFY" Mix

Not all are exported to other States.

BTW: it is good with the addition of 1/2 cup of sour cream or buttermilk.

One thing we can’t buy in any of the grocery stores here is corn bread mixes. I make my own but sometimes wish I could just throw together a mix. I liked the white corn bread mixes.

Adding: I have seen Bob’s Red Mill for $7. That’s too much for a dozen muffins.

My Gramma used to make it that way. It was really yummy. And my Mom made it that way when she used it as a sort-of pie crust on top of her tortilla casserole.

 

[Veronica]

I put sugar in mine. And vanilla.

I like it in that popular corn casserole. The one with cream corn, whole corn, and sour cream.

Ahh cornbread..one of the things I miss most on my low carb diet. I made the mistake of using Jiffy corn bread mix one year in the Christmas dinner dressing...not good.

There are a lot of home made corn bread mixes on Google. Most have four cups of corn meal as base so quite a bit.

Well now that we have the cornbread, what are we going to have with it? I always have mine with white navy beans. I think Twostep's bacon cornbread would be excellent with them.

 

[officerripley]

I agree, I don't like Jiffy either for being too sweet. Here's my favorite:



Although they sell a lot of other Krusteaz stuff around here, I can't find this so I have to order it online.

Pinto beans with a ham hock, greens and ham, country ribs, chilli, ... . or plain ice old milk to dip it in.
