GOLDEN SWEET CORNBREAD

Note: I have never liked sweet cornbread and since I am a diabetic, that is a good thing. However, a couple of my children and their families will only eat sweet cornbread. This is a great recipe I got from a lady on line who had gotten it years ago from another lady online. It supposedly goes back some years.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (200 degrees C).
Spray or lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in egg, milk and vegetable oil until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

This recipe was popular in a restaurant from my high school years. My family sometimes had Sunday lunch at Walker's Restaurant in the early 1960s.

MAMA'S CORNBREAD DRESSING

Note: This is not my mama's recipe. My mother never made cornbread dressing. Her Southern Indiana recipe used bread only. This is a recipe I found years ago while searching the internet.

2 cups chopped onions

2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup butter
4 cups finely crumbled toasted bread
4 cups finely crumbled cornbread
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried sage
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
turkey broth
4 large eggs, beaten

Melt butter in a skillet; add the onions and celery and saute until tender.
Combine toasted bread and cornbread in a large bowl and mix.
Add onions and celery plus their cooking liquid, and salt, pepper, dried sage, and poultry seasoning and mix thoroughly.
Using a bulb baster, add just enough turkey giblet broth to make a very moist mixture, then stir in the eggs and scrape dressing into a large greased baking pan or dish.
Bake in 400 degree F oven until dressing is nicely browned, about 30 to 40 minutes.
