Ingredients

FOR THE CORN BREAD MIX:
2 c all-purpose flour
2 c yellow corn meal
3/4 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
INGREDIENTS TO ADD TO THE MIX:
2 c whipping cream or evaporated milk
3/4 c honey
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c butter flavored shortening, melted

Steps:

1. Combine ingredients for the mix and sift or whisk together thoroughly, throughout. Pour into a Zip-Lock bag, and seal. Label the bag with the name of the mix, the Instructions (to make the mix, below) and the date you are packing it.
2. INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE MIX: Shake up this bagged mix really well. Pour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Prepare a 9 x 17 inch pan or a jelly roll pan by spraying with vegetable spray. Preheat oven to: 400 degrees.
3. In another bowl, mix thoroughly: 4 eggs, slightly beaten 2 cups of whipping cream or evaporated milk 1/2 cup of honey 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening, melted
4. Pour wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients, and stir JUST UNTIL MOISTENED! Batter should be lumpy.
5. Pour into the prepared pan, spreading batter as evenly as possible. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and firm on top. Allow to sit until cool enough to serve.

Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a more flavorful and moist texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and brown properly. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you start mixing the batter.
Let the cornbread cool before serving. Cornbread is best served warm, but it's important to let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cornbread hold its shape.
