Cornbread with cream corn question

[Richard in NS]

I have always made cornbread from a recipe that does not include cream corn. I have seen a couple of recipes that call for it. Does it make it more moist or flavourful?
Let me open up the hornets nest and ask what people think is best.

Creamed corn adds moisture and the liquid also adds flavor throughout the entire cornbread mix.

Anyone have a good recipe for creamed corn cornbread? I’ve tried a couple but am still looking for a better one.

For a simple option, Wife and I use Jiffy mix with a third to half can of creamed corn mixed in.

This is the standard recipe I always hear about, but have never tried it.

Is that because corn is hard to find in Iowa?

Let me do a little research, I have a great recipe... somewhere!

About 10-12 years ago, I remember getting some sort of cornbread mix in the store from Chi Chi Grill. It was sweet and very good. Just now I was curious if it was still available so I did a search for "chi chi grill sweet cornbread". I see a bunch of copycat recipes and the first one I clicked on is this:

Sweet Corn Cake {Copycat Recipe Chi Chi's Mexican Corn Cake}

Sweet Corn Cake is a copycat recipe of Chi Chi's corn cake recipe. This Mexican corn cake is wonderful to have with a bowl of chili!

Looking at the ingredients, it's Jiffy corn bread mix, sugar, can of cream corn, and butter.

Unfortunately I can only find the Jiffy mix here in Canada at Amazon.ca and it is $14 for a 8.5 oz box. Tooooo Much $. I might just try substituting cream corn for the milk in my recipe.

I was having trouble locating that in my cookbook and, got flummoxed attaching it!
It’s really good I can’t believe you can’t get Jiffy for less than that but, it might be the shipping to NS that’s the killer?
I have another one (actually Jiffy is not critical, use whatever is available)...
