📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2 or a family): http://dorislunchlady.com/ Under a dollar. That is what a box of JIFFY still costs, and it has never once had a television commercial. I fed four hundred children a day on the foodservice version of that exac mix, and I can tell you that the four lines of directions on the back ar not trying to teach you anything. They are trying to fit on a box. Twelve tricks, counting down. Number twelve is printed on the side of the box and almost nobody does it. Number eight is the one every cook in America gets right for the wrong reason. And number one is not about cornbread at all. I am Mrs. Doris. Thirty-five years behind a school lunch line in Scioto County, Ohio. Four hundred children a day on a dollar and five cents a tray. Three things to write on a card. FOUR MINUTES - let the batter rest before it goes in the pan, which is printed on the box and costs nothing. TWELVE STROKES with a fork, and stop while it is still lumpy. THREE BOXES for a nine by thirteen, because one box is six muffins and that was never supper.  Tell me in the comments: was it the blue box in your mother's cupboard, or did she make cornbread from scratch in a skillet and never buy a mix in her life? And what county raised you? I read every one with my coffee. #jiffymix #schoolcafeteria
