Directions
Homemade Cornbread or Muffins Mix,An easy to make homemade substitute for store bought boxed cornbread or muffin mixes. Follow the baking instructions included or use 2 cups of the mix in place of boxed mix called for in your recipe.,I have to add a note here: Cornbread is best when baked in a hot cast iron skillet. Put about two tablespoons of fat (oil, lard, etc.) in the skillet and put in the oven at 400 degrees F. while you are mixing the cornbread. When the skillet is hot, pour in the batter. You’ll see a heavy crust immediately begin to form. This is southern-style cornbread. Also note that lots of folk from the south do not like sugar in their cornbread.,My DH liked these a lot – went great with the ham and beans on a rainy night. I increased the salt to 4 tsp. and increased the shortening to 2 cups, which made the corn muffins moist and delicious. Having this mix on hand will be very nice indeed…thanks, Steve!
