Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the Jiffy corn muffin mix, beaten eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, and creamed corn together in a bowl.
- Pour the batter into an 8-inch square pan.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until the top is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding shredded cheese or chopped jalapeños to the batter. If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt works as a great substitute. Ensure the eggs are well-beaten for a lighter texture. Additionally, for a sweeter cornbread, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sugar or honey.
