Hi,
I inherited a box Krusteaz honey cornbread mix from a friend who moved.
This iss a simple add water-only to the mix, then stir until the ingredients were moistened and bake.
Krusteaz is a company from the northwest who began business with a pie mix. Hence the company name was a variation of Crust-Ease.
This cornbread could be considered corn cake, because the texture was very cake-like. There was a bit of unspent baking soda taste, which could be solved by using buttermilk instead of water.
I did not especially like this cornbread, though my Dad thought it was the best I ever made.
My early school years were spent in Maryland. Cornbread was a regularly available at our school cafeteria lunches. I have often thought Jiffy Mix pretty much replicated the experience.
Yes, I am in the add sugar to cornbread grouping.
Regards,
Cathy2
