A big-batch dry cornbread mix with flour, cornmeal, sugar and shortening. One batch makes four pans of cornbread or muffins.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 4 cups yellow cornmeal

Directions

  • Stir the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, shortening, and cornmeal together in a large bowl.
  • Mix until the shortening is spread evenly.
  • Keep in zip-top bags or an airtight container.

Notes

One batch: 2 1/2 cups cornbread mix, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 1/4 cups milk. Preheat oven to 425°F; grease an 8-inch square pan or muffin pan. Add egg and milk to the mix; stir until just blended. Pour into pan or cups. Bake about 25 minutes for an 8-inch pan; muffins take less time.
Storage: dry mix up to 3 months airtight in a cool, dry place. Baked cornbread refrigerated 3 to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.
