In my family, a bowl of chili and slice of cornbread go hand in hand. It's rare to have one without the other. Typically, my mom whips up cornbread using the Jiffy corn muffin mix or Pioneer cornbread mix you can find at the grocery store. This time, however, I decided I wanted to make homemade cornbread without the mix.
A good friend of mine makes her cornbread with sour cream and creamed corn in addition to Jiffy cornbread mix. It's delicious and creamy, so much richer than regular cornbread. With this in mind, I set off to find a similar recipe without the mix. What I found was this recipe by Paula Deen. I made a few adjustments to suit my preferences: using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, using canola oil, and adding 3/4 cup of sugar. This cornbread is grainier than I was used to, but really delicious. Robert has declared it to be our go to recipe from now on.
Please forgive the lack of photos in this post. Apparently I was hungry and in a rush while making this and most of my photos came out blurry.
