COUNTRY CORNBREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Place the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and toast in the oven for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes, until lightly brown. Set aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. In a medium skillet, saute the onion in butter until translucent and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. In a very large bowl, crumble the cornbread, toasted bread cubes, and cracker crumbs. Add the onion and eggs and toss with a fork until mixed. Add 3 cups of the broth and mix well, adding more as needed to make a very moist but not soupy dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in the prepared pan for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°F. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan or 9-inch round cake pan with the cooking spray.
• In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the butter over low heat until melted.
• In a large bowl, beat the melted butter, milk and egg with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once; stir just until the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl. Spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
