Ingredients
- 2 cups biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray to ensure the corn bread doesn't stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, cornmeal, and sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and any lumps are broken up.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add milk and vegetable oil to the eggs, whisking until the wet ingredients are completely combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mixing just until the ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the corn bread tough.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with no wet batter.
- Remove from the oven and let the corn bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This allows it to set and makes cutting easier.
- Cut into 8 equal squares and serve warm. Optional: Brush the top with melted butter for extra richness.
Tips
- Choose the Right Biscuit Mix: For the best flavor and texture, select a high-quality biscuit mix. This will enhance the overall taste of your cornbread.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture, so keep it gentle!
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to add your favorite ingredients like shredded cheese, jalapeños, or corn kernels for an extra kick and flavor boost.
- Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to test the center of the cornbread. If it comes out clean, it’s ready! Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
- Serve Warm: Cornbread is best enjoyed warm. Consider brushing the top with melted butter right before serving for an irresistible finish.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze and reheat as needed.
