Whip up irresistibly fluffy, golden cornbread in minutes with this easy homemade Cornbread Mix recipe. Made with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, and a touch of sugar for balanced sweetness, this versatile mix is your key to classic Southern-style comfort. With just a few simple steps, you can create rich, tender cornbread perfect for soaking up chili, serving alongside barbecue, or enjoying as a snack with a drizzle of honey. Simply combine the dry mix with egg, milk, and butter, and let the oven work its magic! This make-ahead mix is a time-saving solution, offering convenience without sacrificing from-scratch flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or zip-top bag. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
To make cornbread using this mix, combine the entire mix with 1 egg, 1 cup of milk (or buttermilk for extra tenderness), and 1/4 cup of melted butter or vegetable oil. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish or a preheated, greased cast-iron skillet.
Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
