Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small box jiffy corn mix
- 2 large eggs
- 14.75 oz (418 g) creamed corn
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- ¼ cup (50 g) sugar
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350°F (177°C), establishing an ideal thermal environment for crafting golden-kissed cornbread.
- Mixing: Consolidate creamed corn, Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and eggs into a harmonious blend, whisking until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Pan Preparation: Lavish a 9×11 inch (23×28 centimeters) baking vessel with butter or non-stick spray, guaranteeing seamless cornbread extraction post-baking.
- Batter Deployment: Cascade the mixture into the prepared pan, delicately sculpting an even landscape using a spatula to ensure uniform heat distribution and consistent texture.
- Baking Process: Nestle the pan into the preheated oven, allowing 35-40 minutes of transformative heat, periodically assessing doneness through a toothpick’s clean emergence from the cornbread’s core.
- Cooling Ritual: Permit the freshly baked cornbread to settle and stabilize within its pan for 5-7 minutes, facilitating structural integrity and precise portioning.
- Serving Suggestion: Carve into generous squares, presenting warm with optional accompaniments of softened butter or honey to elevate the sensory experience.
Notes
- Moisture Magic: Adding sour cream creates an incredibly soft, tender crumb that melts in your mouth and prevents dry cornbread.
- Temperature Precision: Let eggs and dairy ingredients reach room temperature to ensure smoother batter integration and more consistent baking results.
- Pan Performance: Cast iron skillets deliver the crispiest golden exterior and enhance flavor development compared to standard baking pans.
- Freshness Factor: Consume within 2-3 days for optimal taste, storing covered at room temperature or refrigerating to maintain moisture and prevent staleness.
