How to Make Homemade Cornbread Or Muffins Mix

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups fine cornmeal, 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder, 1 cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Cut in 1 cup vegetable shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 weeks.
  4. To make cornbread or muffins, lightly spoon 2 cups of mix into a measuring cup and level with a straight edge.
  5. Grease an 8x8x2 inch baking pan or 10 (2 1/2-inch) muffin cups.
  6. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of the cornbread mix with 3/4 teaspoon of your choice of dried herbs or spices (basil, thyme, chives, chili powder, poultry seasoning, or a combination).
  7. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 3/4 cup water.
  9. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared pan or muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  11. Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 20-25 minutes for cornbread, or 15-18 minutes for muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and golden brown.
