Cornbread is a classic and beloved dish for a reason.

When made properly, it's rich, fluffy, moist, and just the right amount of sweet. If you like making your cornbread in a cast iron skillet, then you'll also get to enjoy a perfectly crispy crust.

In that case, a boxed mix such as Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix can be a life saver.

A boxed mix will save you time, and it couldn't be simpler to make. And best of all, with a few "cornbread hacks," you can ensure that a boxed mix will still taste amazing.
