Becky's Tips
- Note: Do not prepare the cornbread mix according to the instructions on the box. Use it as a dry ingredient in the recipe. There is not an egg in this recipe!
- Depending on the brand of cornbread mix used, you may need to increase the milk to 1 cup.

Did you make this? Leave a comment!
I think the milk ratio is still off. I did 1-2/3 C but the biscuits were WAY too big compared to what I remember. I used to make this recipe all the time during the COVID lockdown. Did you mean to recommend 1 Cup of Milk?
Hi Liz, so sorry for the mix-up. It should be 2/3 cup of milk!
Hello Sandy, the 2/3 Cup of milk is not enough, I had to put more in to make it into a dough substance bcz your number to the ingredients wasn’t enough
Delicious! I made exactly as described and they were perfect. Question: Is the nutrition information for the whole recipe or a specific serving size?
It’s per serving size, but you can make smaller biscuits if it’s too much!
I made these with jiffy cornbread mix, feel they are too sweet. any suggestions for what cornbread mix to use?
Oh no, I would avoid using any cornbread mix that is meant to be on the sweeter side!
I use Gladiola cornbread mix. No sugar in it. Trying this recipe out today!
This was delicious. I added some extra sugar to the top.
I bet that was so good!
Loved this! The recipe makes about 18 biscuits. I thought that it made 6! So crumbly and flavorful!
Suprise! LOL I am glad you loved them though!
Followed the recipe exactly and they are delicious!
I’m glad you loved it!
Do you add the egg?
This recipe doesn’t list egg as an ingredient!
Not enough milk…..I increased to 1 2/3 cups
Good catch, Linda! Thank you!
Am I supposed to omit the eggs from the mix?
I made these last week and they were so good. I did add a little more garlic powder to the mix and brushed the tops with garlic butter instead of plain butter. We ate them with chili ????????????
That sounds delicious! I’ll have to give it a try!
