Quick and Easy Cornbread (only 4 ingredients)
Cornbread is warm, rustic, and comforting, with a golden crust that gives way to a soft, tender crumb inside. Made with simple pantry staples that deliver a subtly sweet flavor and just the right hint of corn. Served fresh from the oven, it’s perfect alongside hearty soups, chili, or a plate of country-style comfort food.
Cornbread has its origins in Native American cuisines, with roots dating back thousands of years in Mexico and South America where corn was a staple. Early versions were made with just cornmeal and water. It was later adapted by European settlers and enslaved Africans. The evolution of cornbread includes the addition of ingredients like animal fats, buttermilk, eggs, and leavening agents to improve its texture and flavor over time.
This is my mother, Fay’s, recipe and I’ve been making it for years. It’s quick and easy and is lighter than traditional cornbread recipes. All you need is a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, a box of Jiffy Golden Yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, and 2/3 cup milk. It’s that simple!
Ingredients
