Homemade Cornbread is the perfect accompaniment to a soup, stew, or beans. One of my favorite brands to pick up and use is Jiffy Cornbread, but homemade is easy to make, and this is my go-to recipe if I don’t have any store-bought on hand.
So how do you make Cornbread from scratch?
Let me show you!
Cornbread is a quick bread leavened with baking powder, not yeast. So with milk and eggs, other pantry items like flour and cornmeal, you have homemade Cornbread in less than 30 minutes!
Golden, sweet, and tender to the bite, there’s nothing better than homemade Cornbread, especially when it’s filled with diced corn and jalapenos, served warm with honey drizzled on top.
Homemade Cornbread is the best!

Do you have a recipe for easy fudge
Can I leave out the corn and the jalapeños ?? Would that change the taste? I was looking for a good recipe for regular cornbread ?
I do all the time. My husband likes it with the peppers and I don’t neither like the corn. So I mix it up leaving out the corn in all of it and 1/2 the patch no peppers. They come out perfect.
