Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix 8.5 oz / 240 g
  • 1 cup sour cream full-fat for best texture
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter plus extra for greasing
  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey optional, for sweetness
  • ½ tsp salt optional, if you like balance

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine Jiffy mix, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, sugar (if using), and salt. Stir until just combined.
  3. Avoid overmixing: Mix gently. The batter should be smooth but not overworked.
  4. Pour into pan: Spread batter evenly in the prepared dish.
  5. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Rest and serve: Let cornbread cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey.
