cornbread recipes
do any of you have a recipe for cornbread that makes the bread come out more similar to the Jiffy mix?
i made regular cornbread (i.e. from a bag of cornmeal) and the kids didn't like it. i guess they like it fluffier - more like cake than bread. yes, i know, when the TSHTF, they'll just have to suck it up. but until then i'd like to be able to rotate out my cornmeal without having to dump the end-product in the garbage.
thanks in advance to all.

I've never been able to make good cornbread without Jiffy mix. Someone Help!

Use the recipe on the cornmeal bag but change the ratio of the flour to corn meal. Most use 50-50 ratio the closer you get to 75-25 (flour the 75) the fluffier and lighter the bread(more cake like.) It tends to make the corn meal less dominant. I find that my guys like it about 60-40.

yum, I love Jiffy mix cornbread! when making the cornbread recipe on the side of the cornbread bag, add a tablespoon of sugar(and someone else mentioned honey) to it. I find it tastes more like the jiffy mix that way. the flour ratio was a good tip also.

Acts 9:10-12
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, Lord," he answered. The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
