We’re using butter today to keep this recipe vegetarian while also providing a rich, buttery flavor and creamy, yellow color. Unsalted Butter – used to replace the lard (animal fat) found in the boxed mix.Example: if you’re using this cornbread mix to replace the Jiffy in my corn casserole, an additional 1/2 teaspoon+ of salt is being added. Only a little is called for, because additional salt is likely going to be added when using the mix in a recipe. Whether a sweet or salty recipe is being made, salt is a key ingredient to create a flavorful final dish. Baking powder helps our recipes rise and maintain a light, fluffy texture. Baking Powder – our leavening agent which contains baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch.Granulated Sugar – there is a great divide over whether sugar should be added to cornbread or not, but it’s listed on the back of the Jiffy box and we’re looking to make an exact copy of it! Granulated sugar provides sweetness, enhances the flavor of the corn, and helps keeps baked goods moist and tender.

Do not use self-rising cornmeal, because it contains additional leavening agents such as baking soda.

The only difference will really be in color. White cornmeal may be used if necessary, because there are only slight differences in flavor.
