                       Corn Bread:
    1/4   c            Yellow corn meal
    1/4   ts           Baking soda
  1       ts           Baking powder
    1/2   ts           Salt
  1       tb           Flour
  1       c            Buttermilk
  1                    Egg
  1       tb           Salad oil
                       Dressing:
  3                    Celery ribs
  1                    Onion -- chopped
  3                    White or whole wheat bread
  3                    Eggs -- hard boiled (optional)
  3                    Eggs -- beaten slightly
  1       ts           Salt -- or to taste
    1/8   ts           Ground pepper -- or to taste
  1       tb           Ground dry sage -- or to taste
  1       c            Chicken or turkey broth --
                       - or more

 Corn Bread:

 Mix dry ingredients. Separately mix buttermilk and egg. Pour liquid
 ingredients into dry ingredients and mix thoroughly but do not
 beat. Preheat 1 tb salad oil to very hot in an oven proof skillet
 or cake pan. Bake in a preheated 450 F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
 Remove from pan and set aside to cool.

 Dressing:

 Cook celery and onion in a small amount of the broth until tender.
 Do not drain. Set aside. This can be done the day before and
 refrigerated. Toast 2 or 3 slices of bread until crisp all the way
 through. Crumble corn bread and toasted bread into a large bowl.
 Add celery, onion, and the water they were cooked in, then add the
 chopped hard boiled eggs if desired. Beat raw eggs and add to
 mixture. Start adding broth. How much you add is how dry or wet
 finished dressing will be. Add seasonings and mix.

 Pour into greased baking pan and cook in a 350 F oven for 35 to
 45 minutes or until nicely browned.
