Then & Now

This vintage recipe was shared with me by a very special lady in my life in 1988. She called it "Creamy Cornbread." She told me she got the recipe from her mother and that it was a family side dish staple for years.

The texture is moist like a thick pudding or quiche. Say Goodbye to the dry crumbly cornbread. Hello to the Moist Cornbread Recipe.

Back THEN, she served it with barbequed spareribs and a salad. It was one of our favorite things for dinner. The recipe only requires a few minutes of prep and you have a sweet comforting side dish that makes you feel at home.

Some other names it is called are: Cornbread Soufflé, Corn Casserole, Cornbread Bake, Jiffy Creamed Cornbread, Jiffy Cornbread Pudding, Corn Pudding Casserole, Cream of Corn Cornbread, Creamy Jiffy Corn Casserole, Cornbread Casserole ... and many more.

It's Affordable For a Reason

So we all know the familiar and affordable little blue and white boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix.

A man named Harmon Holmes started the Chelsea Milling Company in the early 1900s. It says on the box, "Since 1930." The factory is located in Michigan, just west of Ann Arbor in the small town of Chelsea.

There's a Grandma Behind Every Great Recipe

It was his grandmother Mabel White Holmes who created the company's first packaged baking mix, and she came up with the name, "Jiffy." The original baking mix was intended for making biscuits. It wasn't until 1950 that they began producing the boxed cornbread mix.

The small company employs around 300 people, and they don't change things.

Why is it so cheap? It's not about the quality, it's that the company doesn't advertise. They have essentially no marketing costs which allows them to provide the product for an affordable price at the grocery store.

They deserve accolades as a family business. No one has ever been laid off since the company started.

Simple Ingredients for Moist Jiffy Cornbread

3 eggs
vegetable oil or canola oil
sour cream
cream-style corn
Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (sweet style boxed cornbread mix)

Step-By-Step Directions for Jiffy Creamed Cornbread

Whisk Eggs in a large bowl.
Slowly whisk in ½ cup vegetable or canola oil until well incorporated. (You can use melted butter but it makes it a little bit too greasy)
Stir in 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream. You may use Light Sour Cream or Regular.
Add 1 can Sweet Cream Style Corn (14.75 ounce).

5. Add 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.

6. Stir well with a spoon, until all Jiffy Mix chunks are smooth.

7. Pour into a glass baking dish. No need to spray or grease the dish.

8. Bake Time - Bake for 25-35 minutes, depending on doneness. Using a larger, wider pan, will take less time. I use a 7x10. 9x12 is a standard good size to use. If you add the two numbers up, they should equal between 17 and 22! Not to make things complicated. 🙂 Smaller square pan may need extra time.

It should start to golden brown on the top of the cornbread and not have a divot in the middle. It flattens out as it cools.
