1 1/2 c Corn meal
1/2 c Flour
4 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Buttermilk
1/2 ts Soda
1 ts Sugar (optional)
1/4 c Fat; melted
2 Eggs; slightly beaten
2 md Onions; chopped
2 1/2 c Celery; chopped
2 qt Bread crumbs; soft
1/4 c Butter
1 1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Poultry seasoning
3 Eggs; up to 4
Chicken or turkey stock
1/2 ts Sage
Mix dry ingredients, stir milk into 2 slightly beaten eggs. Put fat
in pan, head oven to 400°F and add extra fat to liquid. Stir liquid
into dry ingredients. Add onions and celery and bake. Let bread cool,
crumble, and add bread crumbs, butter, 1-1/2 ts salt, 1 ts poultry
seasoning, 3 or 4 eggs, and enough turkey or chicken stock to
moisten. Bake at 325°F/163°C until brown.
Note:
I usually add 1/2 ts sage and quite a bit of stock, enough so that the
dressing is the consistency of a thick batter--a potato masher works
well to mix all of this together.
