Sweet Cornbread Recipe?

[deserrai]

So, the post on what to serve with chili got me thinking about cornbread. I love sweet cornbread, especially the kind they serve at Sonny's (not sure how local Sonny's is so no one may know what I'm talking about.) I've never been able to make any that I like so I usually just make regular cornbread. Does anyone have a recipe for sweet cornbread?

We have Sonny's here, but I haven't been to one in years. Boston Market has a sweet cornbread that I love and found a copycat recipe for.

Jiffy cornbread mix is a sweet cornbread mix. There is also a receipe on the back of most cornmeal bags and you can add the extra sugar to your liking.

I also like some sugar in my cornbread, but my husband hates it sweet....he says "I wanted cornbread, not cake!" I use the Perfect Cornbread recipe in my old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, but I make it as muffins. After I fill 9 of the cups with the unsugared batter, I add sugar and make the last 3 sweet for me!

I agree, Jiffy is really a good product. I prefer it over homemade cornbread.

I know Sonny's. LOVE LOVE LOVE their cornbread too!

I grew up with Jiffy cornbread too - but I don't think of it as sweet. (not like Sonny's) but I think it has directions for making it sweeter on the package.

So I'm no help on a recipe. I would look on Paula Deens site - she probably has a recipe.

I like Jiffy cornbread. Its sweet but I add a can of cream corn and a little sugar. You can bake it in a pan or in a muffin pan and have individual cornbread.

I always made Jiffy until I found this recipe on All Ears. It is the cornbread recipe from Whispering Canyon at the Wilderness Lodge. It's sweet and delicious and is always a hit. The recipe makes a lot, but it freezes well. I bring it back from the freezer by wrapping in aluminum foil and cooking in a 350 oven for 20 minutes.

Ingredients
1/2 pound Cornmeal
12 ounces Granulated Sugar
1/2 ounce Salt
1 ounce Baking Powder
1 pound All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Salad Oil
1 Whole Egg, beaten
1 Pint Milk

Method of Preparation
1. Place all dry ingredients in mixing bowl and mix slowly for one minute.

2. Blend milk, egg, and oil together.

3. Slowly add step 2 to dry ingredients, while on slow speed. Don't over mix, only mix to incorporate product.

4. Spray pan with a food release oil spray or line bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

5. Pour batter in pan and bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until bread is firm and golden brown.

I like Jiffy (actually it is the only type I have made in my home) but I really like the idea that I know what is in this recipe. No preservatives etc.

Do you know if you can use 1% milk in the recipe or does it have to be 2 or greater?

Also - salad oil? As in Canola Oil. Has anyone ever substituted butter? Maybe melted. Ugh I guess a healthy cornbread is hard to find.

 

[CaliBear]

I think you could use 1%, but I agree this recipe is not healthy at all. 12 ounces of sugar is 1 1/2 cup! I did reduce it to 1 cup once and my father noticed so I'm back to using the full cup and a half.

Thanks for the responses. I'll be trying these until I find one I like.

Jiffy is the best sweet cornbread. When I make it to go with chili, I omit the milk and add a small can of creamed corn (Kenny Rogers Roasters) served cornbread with corn added. I then add the eggs and mix. You may have to add a smidgen of milk if it is too dry. Then back according to package directions.

I can't find the recipe, but I had one for a Mexican corn bread that was too die for. I just left out the chili's.

From what I remember it had like a cup of flour, cornbread and sugar. Two sticks of butter, a can of creamed corn, and like 8oz of shredded cheddar cheese. It was amazing, if you find the recipe let me know, lol.

We don't have Sonny's around here, so I don't know what their particular cornbread tastes like, but I do like the sweet cornbread at Boston Market.

After trying different recipes and mixes (including Jiffy) I found Marie Callendar's Cornbread Mix . I add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to the mix and it's perfect. I buy the mix at our local Weis grocery stores, but I've seen it for sale a Big Lots as well. http://mccornbread.com/products-page/cornbread/original-corn-bread-pouch/ .

I believe the copycat recipe for that Boston Market sweet cornbread called for one box of Jiffy corn bread and i box of Jiffy yellow cake mix to make the sweet corn bread.
