1. Preheat Your Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cast-iron skillet, baking pan, or muffin tin with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

2. Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the contents of the cornbread mix box. Whisk to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Add the Wet Ingredients

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the egg, vegetable oil, and buttermilk (or your substitute). Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4. Fold in Optional Ingredients

If using, gently fold in the drained corn. You can also add other mix-ins like jalapeños, cheese, or herbs at this stage.

5. Pour the Batter

Pour the batter into your greased pan. For a skillet, pour the entire batter in. For a baking pan or muffin tin, divide the batter evenly.

6. Bake to Perfection

Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For muffins, reduce the baking time to 15-20 minutes.

7. Cool and Serve

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
