Yep! It's explained in the preparation part of that first recipe I posted. You melt the shortening in the pan or heat up the oil in the pan.

If I have time, I make it from scratch.

If I don't... I use 1 pkg. of Jiffy Cornbread mix and 1pkg. of Jiffy Yellow cake mix. Mix those together, add the ingredients from both boxes and it turns out perfect every single time.

That sounds interesting....I guess that would be the sweet version?

If you like the crispy crust and soft middle then the first recipe I posted is the way to go. What are you serving with it? That will help you decide if you want to add sugar to it.

LOL! I have the opposite problem. My fall apart if you look at them too hard. They taste yummy, they just don't stick together.

And yes, Kelsey, I am serious! I don't have the first clue about making cornbread. I don't like it so I never bothered learning how to make it.

I LIKE biscuits though, I just can never get them to stick together.

Sounds good! You just reminded me that I need to put my ham in the oven!

You could go either way, but I would add a little sugar, not much, just a little...probably about a quarter cup. It depends upon what you like. Have fun!!

The key is to use buttermilk...not just regular milk.

Im keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks...I think I am going to go with the first recipe

Good luck with your cornbread! Your menu sounds YUMMY!

When I make cornbread from scratch I mix together:

1 1/2 cup s/r white cornmeal
1/2 cup s/r flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegie oil
and enough buttermilk to make a "thick batter"

I always grease and flour my cast iron skillet -- it isn't necessary if the skillet is well seasoned, but I do it anyway.

Preheat oven to 450 and mix all ingredients just enough to remove lumps
bake until golden brown on top.

Sounds good...is there a difference between the white and yellow? Besides color?
