A box of Jiffy cornbread mix will contain 50% corn flour/50% all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. The instructions will say to add an egg, milk and oil. The result will be Northern-style cake-like cornbread.
Southern style is more dense, less sweet, and usually cooked in a preheated cast-iron pan to impart a crunchy crust. Southern cooks swear by cast-iron cooked cornbread.
This is Northern style, extemporaneous, cooked the Southern way.
I passed the chance to put jalapeño and cheese into the cornbread. This cornbread is plain and sweet.
