I like cornbread. There is something so satisfying about it. But, I’m picky about my cornbread. I like a certain amount sweetness and smoothness to it. Just because it is made from cornmeal, doesn’t meal it has to be rustic, gritty, and dry.
My favorite basic cornbread recipe comes from Albers®. I have tried many recipes over the years and this is the one that makes me happy. There isn’t anything that I need to change or tweek to make it better.
There have been two other corn bread recipes over the years that have put a smile on my face. One of them I just don’t have the nerve to make anymore because of the high fat content, but it is really outstanding. The other one is a fun recipe that my roommates and I used to make when we were in college. It is supposed to be a knock-off of Marie Callendar’s cornbread. It is really good, but a bit unorthodox.
This corn bread makes a nice complement for soups, stews, and Easy Chili.

We made this last night and really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I made this cornbread and it tasted the way my Caribbean Aunt’s did. My co-workers asked for the recipe.
Anonymous–It’s always so fun to have a happy food memory. I’m glad that this reminded you of your Aunt’s cornbread. It is my favorite recipe and I got it off a box of Alber’s cornmeal!
Can you use a different brand name for the white cornmeal but use the recipe for Albers White Cornmeal
Absolutely. 🙂
This is not the Albers Corn Bread recipe. Check the back of the box.
I don’t know what recipe Albers has on the back of their box, but this is the recipe that appears on their website. http://alberscorn.com/sweet-corn-bread/
This is the recipe that I have used for years. It is located on narrow side panel of box. Thanks for posting this!
This is the ONLY recipe I use for cornbread. And I’ve been making it for over 50 years.
