Answer 3

I don't like Jiffy at all. It is too sweet for me. Here is the recipe that I like. It is easy.

1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs


1. Heat oven to 425°F. Generously grease bottom and side of 10-inch cast-iron skillet, 9-inch round pan or 8-inch square pan with shortening. If using skillet, heat greased skillet in oven about 5 minutes or until hot.
2. Stir all ingredients until smooth. Pour batter into pan.
3. Bake skillet 15 to 18 minutes, round or square pan 18 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Answer 4

Check the back of a corn meal box for the recipe...or find an OLD cookbook that tells ya how...of course, it also depends on what you think is the best...is it sweet (add sugar to the batter), it is yellow or white (the cornmeal makes the difference), do you want cheese in it?, jalapenos? I love my moms cornbread, and she does not add flour to the cornmeal or anything crazy. Good Luck!
