Cornbread And Biscuit Dressing Martha Stewart Recipes

BUTTERMILK CORNBREAD FOR CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan, and set aside. Whisk together cornmeal, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Add this mixture to cornmeal mixture, and stir until well combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before removing from pan.

BISCUITS FOR DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add cream, and stir just until a dough forms.
• On a generously floured surface, pat dough into a square, about 1/2 inch thick. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut out rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Pat together scraps, and cut out more rounds. (You should have about 30 biscuits.) Space biscuits 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake until tops are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack. Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For dressing, let stand overnight, uncovered, to dry out before crumbling.

CLASSIC CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Transfer batter to pan and smooth top.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack, 15 minutes, before serving.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few large clumps remaining.
• Pour in the buttermilk; using a rubber spatula, fold buttermilk into the dough, working in all directions and incorporating crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. With floured fingers, gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick, pressing in any loose bits. Do not overwork the dough. Use a floured 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits as close together as possible. (Use one cut edge as the edge for the next biscuit.)
• Place the biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart on an unlined baking sheet. Generously brush the tops of biscuits with buttermilk. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until the biscuits are golden and flecked with brown spots, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.

SKILLET DRESSING WITH CORNBREAD AND BISCUITS

Steps:

• For the cornbread:
• Place a large cast-iron skillet in oven; preheat to 425°F. Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to combine. Whisk egg, buttermilk, and oil in a medium bowl to combine. Create a well in dry ingredients. Pour buttermilk mixture into well and whisk until no dry spots remain.
• Remove cast-iron skillet from oven (be careful; pan will be very hot). Add butter to pan and swirl to coat. Pour batter into pan and spread evenly. Bake cornbread until edges are golden brown and top is golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Immediately turn cornbread out onto a wire rack so bottom stays crisp. Let cool slightly, then invert onto another wire rack and let cool completely.
• Do Ahead: Cornbread can be baked 5 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.
• For the dressing:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a large cast-iron skillet; set aside. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and just starting to take on some color, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, tear cornbread into roughly 1" pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Tear biscuits into slightly smaller pieces and add to same bowl.
• Scrape vegetable mixture into bowl with bread and add sage, pepper, and remaining 2 tsp. salt. Gently toss to combine. Whisk eggs, stock, and vinegar in a medium bowl to combine. Drizzle over cornbread mixture and gently toss again to incorporate. Spoon dressing into prepared pan and bake until set and browned and crisp across the top, 45-55 minutes.
• Do Ahead: Dressing can be baked 1 day ahead. Let cool, then cover with foil and chill. Reheat in a 350°F oven, covered, until warmed through, 25-30 minutes, before serving.
