A Taste of Southern Tradition
There’s something magical about walking into a kitchen filled with the scent of fresh biscuits rising in a cast iron skillet, or warm cornbread just pulled from the oven. For many in Birmingham and across Alabama, these aromas bring back cherished memories — of weekends spent in grandma’s kitchen, family dinners after Sunday service, or holiday tables filled with love and laughter.
World Baking Day, celebrated every May 17th, is more than just an international nod to cookies and cakes — it’s a celebration of heritage, hospitality, and the joy of sharing something homemade. And here in the South, where baking is a legacy passed down from generation to generation, it’s the perfect time to honor tradition with the flavors we grew up on.
“Baking connects us — to our roots, to our families, and to the flavors of the South.”
Join us at Piggly Wiggly Birmingham as we celebrate World Baking Day with Southern staples that turn everyday ingredients into unforgettable memories.
Southern Baking Staples That Tell a Story
Martha White: A True Southern Icon
Founded in 1899 in Nashville, Martha White has long been synonymous with Southern kitchens. From sweet muffins to savory cornbread, Martha White’s baking mixes make it easy to whip up classic comfort food — the kind your grandmother used to make.
Martha White’s deep Southern roots run far and wide, even finding a home on stage as a proud sponsor of the Grand Ole Opry, adding a musical legacy to its culinary one.
“Goodness gracious, it’s good!”
Whether you’re baking for breakfast or bringing a dish to a church social, Martha White is a name that Southern bakers trust — and love.
White Lily: The Biscuit Baker’s Secret Weapon
Since 1883, White Lily Flour has earned its place as the go-to flour for fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits. Made with soft red winter wheat, White Lily delivers that delicate, tender crumb Southerners crave in every bite.
Used by home cooks and professional chefs alike, White Lily is more than just a pantry staple — it’s a badge of pride.
“For Southern biscuits that melt in your mouth, nothing beats White Lily.” – Southern Living Magazine
At Piggly Wiggly Birmingham, you’ll find both Martha White and White Lily stocked and ready, so you can keep the family tradition going strong.
Baking as Bonding
Here in Birmingham, baking is more than a hobby — it’s a way of life. Recipes aren’t just instructions; they’re heirlooms. Whether it’s grandma’s pecan pie, cornbread dressing passed down at Thanksgiving, or biscuits served hot with molasses, these dishes tell stories.
These trusted brands help us relive those stories and share them with the next generation.
