Jiffy mix since my mom never wrote down a recipe. Trying to learn from her is futile. She measures nothing.
Corn bread goes with anything and everything, but especially good with chili (with beans, because chili without beans is soup). Change my mind.

Good cornbread requires a cast iron skillet, stone ground yellow corn meal, and NO sugar.
Sometimes she'll dress it up with cheddar cheese and some chopped jalapeños! A big pot of chili, or pinto beans with ham chunks or bacon.
Now I'm hungry..

I prefer sweet corn bread so need something to sweeten it.

Jiffy sometimes, Miracle Maize is one of the best mixes.
The best though is a recipe I got from a gal I used to werk with.

One cup White Lily corn meal mix, 3/4 cup milk, one egg, two Tbs of oil.
This is for a 9" skillet.
Heat the skillet as the oven heats to 375
When hot, spray the skillet well with Pam.
AFTER it's sprayed, then mix all your ingredients, don't overdo the stirring and don't stir and let sit.
Pour into the skillet and bake till light brown on top, bottom will be darker brown.
My cornbread skillet was bought in 1976 when we married and has never been washed in all these years.
Just wipe it out with a paper towel or cloth.
Eat with beans, soup, chili, etc.
I can eat it as a meal with just butter, or, as a meal with milk or buttermilk.

Real corn bread is just yellow corn mean mixed with water and dipped into a hot cast iron skillet filled with hot grease (old time read as lard). Turn it when the tops bubble and take it out when it is brown. Goes with most anything but expecially a pot of navy beans or turnip salad. Always with a generous spread of butter on top.
I was raised on pone bread and hoecakes. We would use warm water and plain cornmeal but we either made the dough into pones and baked them in the oven till lightly browned or used a shallow castiron skillet and cooked it on top of the stove with only a little oil. It would be deep fried only occasionally. I still cook it those ways but kids and grandkids don't care for it. It definitely is not for everyone, very heavy. Love it with turnips and plenty of pot likker.
Like most other types of cornbread but never sweet.

I inherited my mom's 3 piece cast iron skillet set and being the oldest of the 3 kids taught me to cook with. I'm 68 and still use them with the 10" one also for cornbread. I pour Martha White self rising white cornmeal mix into a mixing bowl and eyeball the level, add 2 eggs, salt & pepper to taste then gradually add milk while constantly stirring to reach that desired thick soupy consistency. Then pour 2-3 Tbs. vegetable oil into the cooking spray coated skillet, pour in the cornmeal mixture and scrape all the goodness out of the bowl with a wooden spatula, place the skillet in a preheated 350* oven, let it bake and start checking after 25 minutes or so. When the top looks ready take it out of the oven and stick the cutting knife blade in the center and insert all the way to the bottom of the cake, if it comes out clean it's done.
I then call the wife whose patiently waiting with a butter knife and the butter.:bthumb:

When I want to make the wife (a southerner) mad I talk about corn bread back home.
In South Dakota corn bread went toward the oven baked cake like and slightly sweet end of the spectrum. If I mention Jiffy corn bread mix, she’ll tell me to pack my stuff and leave. I don’t think she’d be kidding either as she takes her corn bread seriously.
Here in Eastern NC corn bread is very much on the pan fried hard and salty end of the spectrum. I’m not a fan of that style at all. But don’t tell my wife.
PS. My wife says to tell all the jiffy box folks that they are going to hell, it’s wrong, wrong, wrong and that their grandmas are rolling in their graves,

My Grandmas were German and Italian. They knew nothing of corn bread so I'm starting from scratch, as it were.
I'm not much of a fan but have made it dozens of times for parties.
My own bacon diced up and cooked in a cast-iron skillet, then a pack of Jiffy. Occasionally a diced Chipotle, particularly if for a superbowl party where I was serving my chili.

Cold and rainy here in NC so I baked a cake today - no jiffy ever in this house ! My fiancée is from Eastern NC so she does the fried cornbread thing - I’ll act like it’s good but it’s not - but when I introduced her to my jalapeño and cheddar hot from my ancient square cast iron skillet she almost ate the tips of her fingers off !!
I don’t remember the last time she fried them little hockey pucks come to think of it !!
No sugar no jiffy ... yea that’s the two rules

Love the Jiffy Mix stuff with a can of Mexican corn and some jalapeños diced in. You can use the lard/iron skillet stuff the feed the chickens 
Yellow corm meal flour , 1 cup each, baking powder. Egg, salt, little oil, buttermilk.
If'na I is feeling a bit high falutin I will sift the dry and mix the wet separate then combine other wise it just goes together in one bowl with a palm full of frozen corn and a can of green chilis. Bake in cast seasoned with bacon grease at 375 until the top cracks.
Hamhocks and pintos or navy beans. Good for a days worth of meals for me.
