I love the texture and flavor of the cornbread I make with Bob's Red Mill medium grind cornmeal. Recipe is on the back of the package.

They also have the organic version if you like. (Fine grind doesn't give enough texture for my taste.)

Instead of buttermilk, I mix plain yogurt with water. 

Sometimes I don't include the sugar.

Substituting olive oil works if you don't want to use butter.

(It says for a square pan but this round works perfectly.)

They served it three times a week to us in grade school and I always took a pass. After seeing the pictures from @PA Mom-mom & @GingerPeach I'm tempted to give it a try. I guess you moms know best.

@AuntG  It was never on our table growing up, but my DH grew up loving it, so I had to adapt. It's so easy to make, and it makes him SO happy! Win, win!

Yep! If Hubs ain't happy, ain't nobody happy, LOL!

I keep Martha White's Yellow cornbread mix in my pantry for quick fixes. I use two packages to fill my cornbread pan. We do not like sweet cornbread so Jiffy is not our first choice.

@PA Mom-mom thank you for the recipe!

@GingerPeach thank you!  never thought to even look at Bob's red mill products.   Pretty cornbread too!

Thank you everyone,  you are all the best!  I'm picking up some jiffy mix the next time I shop and I'll have to look for the Martha White flour.  It doesn't sound familiar, so I'm not sure they carry it here in Northeast Ohio.   

Thanks again,  Merry Christmas!

That looks SO good, but Amz is showing that brand as $8.39 for 32 oz!!!!

Do you pay that much for Martha White or is Amz ripping off as usual?

I can get 32oz of Indian Head White Corn Meal at Wegman's for $1.59 !!
