Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
0.25 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Layer the dry mixture in a 1-quart glass jar (or any sealable jar of choice), tapping gently after each addition to create a neat, layered effect.

Step 3

Seal the jar tightly and label it with the following instructions for baking: 'Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the jar mix, 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil (or melted butter), and 1 large egg. Stir until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.'

Step 4

Gift the cornbread jar mix, or store in your pantry for up to 3 months.
