As said in one youtube video, there isn't much to elabrate because it is just too simple. And with Trader Joe's cornbread mix, you have almost the majorities prepared (cornmeal, wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and some you don't want to know). All you need is adding a few ingredients and baking. Before you jump in with the recipe on the box, read this. It offers a different taste and a few tips.
Ingredients [8x8x2 pan] for one box of Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix (15Oz/425g)
- one box of the Trader Joe's cornbread mix
- 2/3cup of milk (85g) (half-and-half is fine)
- 32g unsalted butter (or corn oil) a buttery flavor matches cornbread.
- 2 eggs
- 4 table spoons of honey or syrup (can certainly add this later on when serving)
The steps are easy too. Preheat the over to 350F (or 165C). Mix the ingredients well, then add the mix and stir until moistened evenly. Pour batter into greased 8x8x2 pan and bake until golden brown.
It is about 35~40 min. You can check with a stick. When inserted in the center, it should come out clean.
There are recipes with only one egg. It's fine, just increase the liquid portion a bit (milk or oil) so the batter is not too sticky. Some add a banana, some add whole corns, I prefer raisins. As a southern style dish, feel relax and do whatever you like. I saw a recipe adding all-purpuse flour to make it even more fluffy. However the cornbread texture is coarse, I would not prefer a cake like cornbread. It does offer a different choice though.
Enjoy!

玉米麵包雖然叫"麵包",但我認為比較接近蛋糕,因為它不用酵母。玉米麵包主要是用cornmeal. Cornmeal 和 玉米粉(corn flour)差別在輾磨的粗細。Cornmeal 比較粗, 玉米粉比較細。近幾年大家知道糙米的好處了, 或許cornmeal也有那一天。台灣生長的玉米不多,因為進口的太有競爭力了,種了價錢不好。最近因為斷鏈跟烏俄戰爭才凸顯自給自足的重要。趕快種吧!那大家就都有玉米麵包可吃了。
