  • 17 ounces Jiffy corn muffin mix (2 8.5-ounce boxes)
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • cup milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

  • Place into the center rack of the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Notes

  • The cornbread is cooked when the edges are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
