  1. This is an Excelent cornbread mix! Born and raised in Texas, I find Jiffy mix way too sweet and recipes with no sugar kind of bland. This recipe has just a "hint" of sweetness, not too much, not too little, just right. My father, 63 years here in the south LOVES it. Don't let 3/4 cup of sugar to 8 1/2 cups of dry ingredients scare you, it is just right. To make it "cake-like" it would need at least 4 cups of sugar, according to most cake recipes (and Jiffy mix, which is cake-like). I used this recipe to make my sea food cornbread dressing and it is fabulous! Of course, you can leave the sugar out, you can even use half or all buttermilk, you can even bake it in a skillet if you wish, but I would try it as is first. Vel, you made no mistake by adopting this recipe, it is a keeper!
     
  2. I used this to make Southern Cornbread Dressing for Thanksgiving this year. It baked up absolutely beautifully. I didn't feel that it was too sweet at all. 2 cups of this is also a perfect substitute for a package of Jiffy Mix or other similar commercial cornbread mixes. This is absolutely the most wonderful recipe! Kept in the freezer, it is just as convenient as opening a package. Thank you, Velvetinenut, for adopting and posting this magical recipe!
     
  3. I used this in Recipe #167241. This worked out so well! I love how easy it is to throw together. I am sure that it isn't as easy as opening a box.. But here in Ontario, I don't get that option! So this is 5 minutes well spent! Thanks for posting this lifesaver!
     
  4. This perfectly acceptable cornbread was used in recipe #145575, Chili with Corn Bread Dumplings. I also made 1/4 of the recipe, ending up with 2 3/4c of dry mix. I used 1 1/2 eggs and 1 1/3c milk and it worked perfectly.
     
  5. Jiffy Cornbread Mix isnt available in Ontario, this recipe is excellent. It took seconds to throw together, I made up 1/4 of this mix to use in [recipe=4178]Cornbread with Corn[/recipe] and it turned out prefect. Great thing to have on hand if you like cornbread.

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been. I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking. I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are. http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/123897/Backtattoos.jpg The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize. I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!! Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too! In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means : (A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste). If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
