Dear friend from Arkansas was purchasing Albert's cornmeal, she so enjoys the recipe for cornbread on the box though NO sugar (no sweet cornbread )for her ! White cornmeal, who prefers it to yellow cornmeal, is there a difference ? Or is it a regional preference in the Southern states ? If you care to share a recipe, please do so ! Thanks y'all !

I prefer yellow and think generally that's a preference in the South. I find it has more flavor and appealing texture than white.

I also prefer yellow cornbread but being from Central Illinois, all of the cornbread around here has sugar in it. That's the way I learned to eat it, and that's the way I like it. There's lots of corn around here and several facilities which make corn meal.

Yellow Cornmeal makes the best bread and then the leftovers become wonderful dressing with some chicken.

I love sweet cornbread made with yellow cornmeal. But I also like to add a scoop of Morningstar Farms sausage crumbles to a batch of unsweet cornbread -- it's a meal in itself.

This topic is more complicated than it appears on the surface. There are several variations to what folks like to call "True Southern Cornbread." Most of the cornbread I have had made with yellow cornmeal has been sweet and is more of a dessert cake. However, I have had a few good yellow cornmeal cornbreads that weren't sweet. I prefer "corn pone" - that delicious accompaniment to a bowl of pork-laced pinto beans. And corn pone is most-definitely made with white cornmeal in this part of "The South" and must be prepared using bacon fat and cast iron. That flavorful crusty exterior combined with the savory interior just begs for some fresh butter to be slathered-on. If I had to define true Southern cornbread it would be corn pone with white cornmeal - that sweet yellow stuff is good but it's dessert.
