I don't suppose Jiffy Mix counts ??? ;) ;D  It's quick and easy.  Add an egg, some milk, stir pour it into a pan or muffin tin.  Twenty minutes later you've got cornbread ;D 8)  I always make some up to go along with bean or lentil soup.  Gonna have to buy some REAL cornmeal to make up some homemade stuff next time.

Corley,

My wife gets corn muffin mixes and calls it cornbread-----she's a yankee from Ellynoise you know :D :D

I'll have to admit,  it goes real good with milk for breakfast or even beans for supper.  But,  it ain't cornbread :

JUBILATION T. CORNPONE
Lil' Abner : The Musical (1956)
(Gene De Paul / Johnny Mercer)
Stubby Kaye - 1956


When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near,
Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Toot your own horn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

When we almost had 'em but the issue still was in doubt,
Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Tattered and torn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin' out!

With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat,
Who was it that burned the crops and left us nothing to eat?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "September Morn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat!

HURRAY!

When it seemed like our brave boys would keep on fighting for months,
Who took pity on them and ca-pit-u-lated at once? 
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Unshaven and shorn - pone.
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he weren't nobody's dunce!

Who went re-con-noiter-ing to flank the enemy's rear,
Circled through the piney woods, and disappeared for a year?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Treat 'em with scorn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the missing mountaineer!

Who became so famous with a reputation so great,
That he ran for president and didn't carry a state?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;
Old "Wouldn't be sworn - pone."
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he made the country wait!

Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray.
Who was known to all his men as good ol' "Paper Mache?"
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone;

[CHARLIE]

Ohsoloco, corn pones are much like cornbread but are no more than 1 inch thick and about 6 inches long, either baked or fried and should have a crunchy crust. They are not as soft as regular cornbread.
