Equipment

Ingredients

Method 1: Jiffy Mix

  • 1 cornbread mix Jiffy, Martha White 8 oz size
  • 1 Egg
  • ⅓ cup Milk

Method 2: Homemade Jiffy Cornbread Mix

  • ¾ cup Flour All purpose
  • ¾ cup Cornmeal Plain cornmeal, not a mix
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 small Egg
  • ⅔ cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Whether you're making the store bought Jiffy mix, or making the Homemade Jiffy cornbread mix recipe, add the dry ingredients to a medium size mixing bowl.
  • Whisk to break up any lumps, or if making from scratch, to combine all dry ingredients.
  • Add the egg and milk for the box mix, if making from scratch, add the egg, milk, and oil. Mix lightly until combined. Batter will be a little lumpy, but that is fine.
  • Spray a 6" to 7" round air fryer pan, or small springform pan with non stick cooking spray.
  • Pour batter into the pan, and place in the air fryer for 16 to 22 minutes at 320 F. You don't even need to preheat the air fryer!
  • At 16 minutes, peek to check for browning and doneness. Use a toothpick to stick in the middle. If it comes out clean, remove from the air fryer and cool.
  • If the toothpick is not clean, continue to cook in the air fryer for another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the air fryer and cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Melt some butter over the top of the cornbread, then slice into pieces and serve!

Notes

Here are a few tips for making Jiffy cornbread in an air fryer:
  • You can add other ingredients to the batter, such as chopped vegetables or shredded cheese.
  • To bake in a conventional oven: preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the cornbread for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Reduce or omit the sugar, based on your preference.
