Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet 10 ¼inch or 9X13 Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 8.5 oz Boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 2 Whole Large Eggs
  • 2 5.3 oz Containers Peach Yogurt the individual size (pack in a lunch)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil avocado oil, melted butter or bacon drippings to season the skillet (baking dish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and position the rack in the center. 
  • Prepare the batter: Combine the cornmeal mixture, eggs, and yogurt in a large bowl and mix until combined. This will be a thick batter, and that's ok!   (Don't forget to stir the peach yogurt before adding it to the mixing bowl if you are using a fruit at the bottom type.)
  • Prepare the skillet: Grease, butter, or oil the skillet or baking dish making sure to coat all sides. Pour batter into the skillet or baking dish and spread it in a nice even layer. 
  • Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • Cool and serve: Cool for 5- 10 minutes and serve with your favorite butter on the side! (see below for ideas)

Notes

Butter Ideas:

  • Honey Butter- Mix softened butter with a little honey (to taste).
  • Peach Jalapeno Butter - Combine peach preserves with soft butter and minced jalapeno.
  • Maple Butter- Combine maple syrup and room temperature butter for an alternative to honey butter.

Leftover Ideas:

  • Cornbread stuffing
  • Crispy Cheddar Crusted Cornbread
