My cornbread is hard. I add sour cream and oil, along with milk and an egg. But it is just awful. Please help. I have tried so many recipes, but it doesn't help. They aren't what I expect.

I like Jiffy mix also but sometimes you may just wish to make it from "scratch". Several things may be happening with your cornbread so think about what could be changed to improve the texture.
What type of pan are you using? I use cast iron muffin pan or cast iron corn pone pan or a 8" square glass baking pan. Always grease pan. Try changing your pan - even if just for good luck!
Is the temperature of your oven correct? Ovens do not always show the correct temperature. If do not have an oven thermomotor to verify then I would suggest lowering your oven at least 10-15 degrees.

If you are having difficulty making homemade cornbread I would like to suggest that you try Jiffy Cornbread Muffin Mix. I love this mix and it comes in a small box. It makes a great cornbread.
I can make cornbread, however, I prefer the Jiffy mix. I don't always want a large batch of cornbread and this makes the perfect amount for me.
I have never added sour cream to my cornbread before. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone putting sour cream in their cornbread mix.
You might be over mixing it. Stir your ingredients until JUST moistened and there are no chunks.
You may be baking it too long.
cornbread is very easy add milk eggs and a little sugar about spoon use oil for your pan and whip it till it is smooth bake at 350 30mim take a look at about 15mim when look light brown take a took pick to see if it stick to took pick if it do not its ready do not cook long then 30mim add butter to top spread all over i like to use jiffy cornbread mix
I would suggest adding some baking powder to the recipe about a teaspoon and lowing the oven about ten degrees so the bread is less prone to burning and becoming hard
When I don't have time to make corn bread from scratch, I use a box of Jiffy corn bread mix. I do doctor it up some, adding a little flour, butter, a spoonful of sugar, and a little more milk.
when all else fails, try to see if your oven runs more hot than it needs to. Drying is classic overheating symptom. If you get a thermometre and realize that your oven is always 25 degrees hotter than what it's supposed to be, that is your problem right there.
If your cornbread rises, then probably the suggestions about oven heat will fix your problem. But if it's flat and hard, are you using some kind of leavening?
I do 1 box of jiffy and 1 box yellow cake mix! Super moist and sweet.
Sometimes Ill make the whole cake mix but only add half to a box of jiffy, but my kids love it!!
