Homemade Cornbread Recipe- Skip the Jiffy!
Jiffy cornbread mix is a fairly inexpensive side, and a must to pair with chili, IMO. But several years ago a friend brought over her homemade cornbread recipe and hubs won’t let me go back to Jiffy. LOL! And I agree, this recipe is worth a few extra steps!
So thanks to Tracy for this seriously sweet and yummy recipe! It really is amazing. (I have made a few tweaks from the original, but all the credit goes to Tracy)

- 3/4 C milk

Just tried your recipe tonight, but replaced the 1 1/4 cup of All Purpose with the same amount of Masa Flour for a gluten free option – turned out great! I also added a bit of honey to it since the Masa has more of a strong taste. Definitely going to be my “go-to” cornbread recipe from now on! 🙂 Thanks!
Ruthie- Thanks so much for coming back to share your adaptation. I know it will be helpful to those who are looking for a gluten-free option. So glad it turned out well! 🙂
