How To Make Jiffy Cornbread With Creamed Corn

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Whisk the wet ingredients (egg, cream corn, sour cream, and melted butter) in a large bowl until incorporated.
2. Add the jiffy mix and sugar to the bowl and fold the mix to incorporate.
3. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with a generous amount of high-heat cooking spray.
4. Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Recipe Tips & FAQs

• Use oil spray: I use avocado oil spray to prepare the pan in the easiest and quickest way possible. But, you can also make a prepared pan by rubbing the inside with a stick of butter. 
• Baking dish options: You can use a casserole dish or a preheated 8-inch cast iron skillet. 
• Preheat your cast-iron skillet: Preheat the cast iron skillet by adding it to the oven while the oven preheats. Preheating is the best way to get a crispy crust on this creamed corn cornbread recipe while keeping a moist center. 
• You can also make this from scratch using whole corn kernels with old-fashioned creamed corn or slow cooker creamed corn recipes.
• Use room temperature ingredients. They work best in most baking recipes.
