This recipe is my Mom's and she says she got the original from the side of a Albers Corn Meal box. All I know is that I loved this as a kid and still do and it was always a huge hit with my kids, picky as they are. NOTE: I frequently cheat and use one of the cornbread muffin mixes that come in in the small blue and white box (to avoid naming the particular brand), rather than making the cornbread from scratch.
