Notes
Jiffy-style substitute: This full recipe replaces two small Jiffy-style corn muffin mix boxes. Use half of the prepared mix when a recipe calls for one box.
Half-batch amounts: For one box equivalent, use ¾ cup fine yellow cornmeal, ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, ¼ cup sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon fine sea salt.
Use fresh baking powder: This mix depends on baking powder and baking soda for lift, so check that both are fresh before making a batch.
Whisk well: Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly
Store airtight: Keep the mix in a sealed jar or airtight container in a cool, dry pantry. For best results, use within 3 months.
Dry mix only: Use Homemade Cornbread for the wet ingredients, bake time, and full instructions when you’re ready to bake cornbread.
