Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Butter: Melted in the pan, it adds richness and helps the crust brown and keep the bread from sticking.
Baking mix: Provides the flour, leavening and fat that give the cornbread its structure and rise.
Egg: Binds the batter and sets during baking, giving the cornbread its firm structure.
Cream corn: Adds moisture and sweetness, keeping the crumb tender and corn-flavoured.
Pepper jack cheese: Melts through the batter, adding fat, savoury flavour and a little heat.
