How to Make Cornbread Mix
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in ½ cup shortening (vegetable or lard) using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Store the cornbread mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months, or freeze for longer storage.
- To bake cornbread: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 cup milk.
- Add 2 cups of the cornbread mix to the wet ingredients. Stir gently just until moistened—do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
