  • Total Time: 40 mins
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup whole kernel corn (drained if canned)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 12 jalapeños, diced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven – Set to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish.

2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth.

3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients – Stir in Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.

4️⃣ Fold in Add-Ins – Gently fold in shredded cheese, corn, chopped onions, and diced jalapeños until evenly distributed.

5️⃣ Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6️⃣ Cool & Serve – Let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or a drizzle of hot sauce!
