Let’s Make it together
Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your jiffy cornbread with cream corn bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden.
Prepare your baking dish: Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter. This will prevent any sticky situations when serving up those delicious slices.
Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine one box of Jiffy Cornbread Mix, one can of creamed corn, two eggs, one cup of milk, and half a cup of melted butter. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep it light and fluffy.
Pour into the dish: Transfer your batter into the prepared baking dish. It should look thick and creamy; give it a gentle shake to spread evenly.
Bake away: Place your dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Cool and serve: Allow cooling for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm with butter or enjoy as is – either way, it’s delicious!
