Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cornbread, consider adding more sugar or mixing in some honey. You can substitute plain yogurt for sour cream if needed. If you prefer a heartier texture, try adding a cup of shredded cheese or diced jalapeños. Also, ensure not to overmix after adding the Jiffy cornbread mix to keep it light and fluffy.
