LOL! I made the real thing for years before I discovered Jiffy and
liked it soooo much better. After I found out it had <gasp> flour in
it, I started adding flour to my cornbread mix... it turned out that
Jiffy mix is EXACTLY what I like, so why go through all that trouble
of making cornbread from scratch?

IMO: It's like my epiphany after doing a side-by-side taste test with
B&M Baked Beans and mine home made. They were virtually the same, so
why go to all the trouble of making baked beans from scratch?
