Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I asked my brother Dave if he remembered this recipe from his youth. He said he thought he did, but then he and his wife, Bonni, thought they might have seen it before. But wait. Dave went to the cupboard and pulled out a box of Albers Cornmeal. And there it was on the back of the box! My brother Ken remembered eating this as well.I made this and found it a bit labor intensive and a little dense so revised it. We'll still call it Mom's cornbread. Always an amazing cook, she passed away in 2017.
