Ingredients layered in bowl

When I am making my mixes, I usually put the flour on the bottom and then add the other ingredients in piles on top, it makes it easier to see what I have already put in the bowl.

Mixed ingredients

To make:

1 egg, beaten
1/2 C. water
2 Tbsp. oil
1 1/4 C. cornbread mix

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Mix egg, water and oil.  Add cornbread mix and stir to combine.  Place batter in greased 8" x 8" pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.

* Use this batter to make homemade corndogs. Add a pinch of dry mustard and 1/4 C. (approx.) more cornbread mix to make a stiff batter.  Place hotdogs on skewers, dip in cornbread mix to completely coat and deep fry  in 2-3 inches of hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
