Cornbread has earned its place as a beloved side dish throughout the seasons, offering a simple and delightful addition to any meal.

However, achieving the perfect cornbread can be a challenge, especially when using a mix.

Dryness often plagues this classic treat.

Thus leaving us yearning for a moist and tender texture. But fear not. We have the ultimate hack that will transform your Jiffy cornbread mix into a sensational creation, surpassing your expectations.

Let’s dive into this extraordinary recipe that takes Jiffy cornbread to new heights.

Gather these ingredients:

• 2 boxes of Jiffy cornbread mix
• 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar (optional)
• 3 eggs
• 1 ¼ cups of buttermilk
• 7 tablespoons of melted salted butter (for the cornbread batter)
• 1 tablespoon of melted salted butter (for the glaze)
• 1 tablespoon of honey

Ready to dig in? Let’s get started.

Step 1: Begin by emptying the Jiffy cornbread mix into a bowl. If desired, add the granulated sugar to enhance sweetness.

Keep in mind that Jiffy mix already has a hint of sweetness, so adjust the sugar to your preference.

Step 2: In another bowl, crack three eggs and whisk them lightly. Add the buttermilk and continue whisking until well combined. Properly whisk the thicker buttermilk with the eggs ensures a smooth integration of flavors.

Step 3: Melt 7 tablespoons of butter. Use an iron skillet and set it over low heat to prevent burning. Save a portion of the melted butter for later.

Step 4: Dig a little in the center of the dry ingredients in the bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the center, along with the melted butter. Save some melted butter in the skillet for a time-saving hack—swirl it around to grease the skillet without the need for additional greasing steps.

Step 5: Mix all the ingredients in the bowl using either a hand mixer or a spatula. Ensure that you thoroughly incorporate all the ingredients, scraping off any dry bits clinging to the sides or bottom of the bowl to prevent lumps in the batter.

Step 6: Pour the batter into the pre-greased skillet. Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40-45 minutes. Adjust the baking time if you prefer a lighter crust, but remember to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cornbread and ensuring it comes out clean.

Step 7: Once fully cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and admire the beautiful creation before you. But hold on, there’s one final step for perfection.

Step 8: Melt a tablespoon of butter and combine it with honey to create a glaze. While the cornbread is still hot, generously brush the glaze onto the surface.

Watch in awe as your cornbread glistens with deliciousness.

Behold the masterpiece.

With Jiffy mix as the base, this recipe allows you to infuse your cornbread with your personal touch, taking it from ordinary to extraordinary.
