An attendee to my camping trips has been bringing along BJ’s cornbread and we’ve loved the tradition. I’ve also been trying to find the perfect cornbread recipe for some years – not really trying too hard. I finally came upon a recipe that I tweaked and it is really the perfect cornbread for me. Try it!
Shortybiscuit’s Cornbread
Perfectly moist cornbread that's slightly sweet
Equipment
- 1 Medium mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 8×8 baking pan
- 1 Size 12 cookie scoop (If using wedge pan)
- 2 Lodge wedge pans (instead of 8×8 baking pan)
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup melted butter cooled
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease an 8 x 8 pan or 2 cast iron wedge pans with cooking or baking spray. If using a wedge pan, heavily spray each cavity.
- Melt the butter and cool
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs and butter together
- Whisk in the milk and honey
- Whisk in the sour cream
- Finally, add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and stir until just combined
- Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 25 – 30 minutes
- Check the cornbread after 25 minutes to see if it is ready. Use a toothpick and if it comes out clean it's done. If not, check again in 5 mins.
- Top with honey or honey butter and enjoy.
Notes
You can easily substitute heavy cream for the sour cream in this recipe.
When camping I use my Camp Chef Camp Oven to bake the cornbread. I set the oven to high and use a digital thermometer to check the temperature.
