Julies Cornbread Recipes

MOIST SOUTHERN CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
• In a square baking dish (or cast iron skillet if preferred), melt the butter in the oven until it bubbles.
• While the butter melts, prepare the batter. In a mixing bowl; combine the corn meal, eggs, creamed corn, sour cream and grated onion. Pour the cornbread batter in the baking dish on top of the melted butter. Be careful handling the hot baking dish.
• Bake the cornbread for 40 minutes.
• Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

JULIE'S CORNBREAD DRESSING OR STUFFING

Steps:

• DAY BEFORE OR EARLY IN THE DAY.
• Make cornbread.
• Pinch up other bread into 1/2" pieces and toast in oven until dry but not brown or hard. I use a large cookie sheet at 200 degrees for 1 hours.
• Dice celery and onion and keep refrigerated.
• 2 1/2 HOURS BEFORE SERVING.
• Crumble cornbread by hand into the bowl with the bread.
• Add the eggs, sage, salt and pepper.
• Add 2 cups of turkey broth.
• Add the cream.
• Add additional chicken broth, until you reach the right consistency. Be careful not to add too much as the dressing will not set. (You want enough liquid so that the bread will soak it up and still be just slightly soupy.).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If using the same oven as the turkey, plan to cook longer to accommodate the lower oven temperature.).
• If not using a disposable pan, spray pan with Pam AND line it with heavy duty aluminum foil or regular aluminum foil, doubled. Spray the foil as well.
• 1 1/4 HOUR BEFORE SERVING.
• Place dressing in the oven.
• Check on it starting at 45 minutes. Depending on the size of your pan (the depth of the dressing), it will take anywhere from 45 minutes up to 1 1/4 hour to get done.
• Serve and enjoy!
