And it came out a bit less crumbly. More like cornbread at a restaurant. I like the price.

Except I add a can of corn to it. I have a square cast iron skillet that must be 100 years old that I
use to bake the corn bread.

Served with her chili 😋 ! An absolute favorite.

Edit - I've been informed that she also adds sour cream, onions, corn and cheese to the cornbread mix. Because of course she does...

was a major item in my food shopping list. When all three kids and often their friends were here for the weekends, the Baking Mix was the basis of chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.
