Granny's Southern Cornbread Dressing Recipe

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees .
2. Make cornbread by mixing cornmeal, flour, oil, eggs, buttermilk and milk.
3. Stir until well blended. Stir in celery and onion.
4. If the batter is too thick, add more milk. (should be pourable).
5. Pour into greased hot iron skillet (if you have one, if not get one, they aren’t expensive and you can get them at Wal Mart. I have one I use just for cornbread!).
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is light brown.
7. When done and cooled down a bit. Crumble into a large bowl.
8. Add bread pieces, butter and seasonings. Mix well.
9. Start adding chicken or turkey broth, stirring and adding more broth as needed. (important: add broth until you think it is just right, then add more. It will soak up and dry out in the oven).
10. Adjust seasoning to taste. (appoint someone special).
11. Pour into a grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish or pan.
12. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with gravy.
13. Note: Broth made from boiling a hen will be best but canned will work.
