Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and prepare a 9×9 pan/9 inch pie dish/ 9 inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray. If you’re doubling the recipe make sure you use a 9×13 pan.
Mix all the dry ingredients into a medium bowl and all the wet ingredients into a small bowl or large measuring cup. Whisk the wet ingredients together and pour them into the bowl with the dry mixture.
Stir until just combined. Try not to over mix the batter or you’ll end up with a denser corn bread. Just wet all the dry ingredients, pour into the prepared dish, and bake for 20 minutes. The edges should be golden brown and a toothpick should be able to be inserted into the middle and come out clean.
Make Ahead Mix
Write these instructions of a gallon sized ziplock bag:
1. Preheat oven to 425
2. beat 1 c. milk, 1 egg, 1/4 c. oil together
3. combine with mix
4. Bake for 20 min
Put all of the dry ingredients into the ziplock bag
When it comes time to use the mix, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 1/4 cup oil into a large measuring cup. Then put the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl, pour into a pan and bake! It’s just like making it out of a box but it’s cheaper and has more love in it.
