Alber's Cornbread

Submitted by Kater

"This is one of the first things I remember baking as a child. My mom would let me mix it up all by myself and it was the first recipe I had memorized. I never knew where she got it until one day recently I was looking at the box of Alber's cornmeal, and lo and behold, it was on the box! Nevertheless, it's a good recipe and I still enjoy it, especially with a little butter and honey."

Just like Mom used to make, except we never added any sugar. So.. it's much better with the sugar, LOL! :)

I’ve been making this cornbread since I was 12 years old and I’m still using it at 70 years old. It was the first thing I learned to cook. I’ve memorized it for years and use it every year for my cornbread dressing. However, I now have to refer back to the box for the recipe. It’s the age thing! Lol!

This is also one of the first things that I learned to make, and it's a classic for good reason - sweet, soft, and delicious.
