Traditional Southern Thanksgiving Dressing and Gravy

#17247172 - 11/19/12 03:29 PM (13 years, 10 months ago)

CORNBREAD DRESSING (My Nanny's (E. Newman) recipe)

4/5 pan of cornbread for a 9" by 13" pan.
12 slices dried bread - crumbled
3 big onions diced (more or less)
2 cups diced celery (more or less)
Sage to taste (DON'T OVER SAGE)

Mix all of these ingredients. (Can do this the night before if you want and store in refrigerator) I usually don't add the onions until the day I make the dressing.

Add broth - enough to make soupy. ( I think I used 5 or 6 of the boxes of broth) Cold broth makes a better dressing. Swanson's canned broth can be used. I usually add a chicken bouilon cube and some butter to the broth to make it richer.

Add 2 or 3 eggs (beaten).

Cover with foil, bake at 350 or 400 degrees until onions and celery are tender. Uncover to brown. I think it take about two hours to cook it start to finish?

GRAVY
Make a flour and water rue. Boil Broth - add enough milk to make gravy creamy. Add butter to make richer. Use Swanson's broth for this. Add the rue to thicken the gravy to your liking.

CORNBREAD TO USE FOR THE DRESSING
Dressing will not be good if you use a cornbread mix as it changes the texture of the dressing.

3 eggs - beat with fork
add: 6 tsp baking powder
3 tsp salt
6 tbls. sugar

Add 3 cups whole milk

Add 3 rounded cups of white corn meal mixed with 6 rounded tablespoons flour

Melt 6 rounded tablespoons shortening (melted) to the mix.

Grease 9 x 13 pan. Heat in oven until hot. Pour in cornbread mix.

Bake at 450 degrees until firm to touch. I have no idea how long, just watch it and test it for doneness. You will use 4/5 of the pan of cornbread. I imagine you could use the entire pan??

Celery is amazing as dressing for broth!!!
