CORNBREAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter; add the onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring often, until light golden, about 6 to 8 minutes and remove from the pan to a small plate. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the water, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet and allowing the water to simmer just a couple of minutes to infuse in the onion flavor. Remove from the heat.
• Put the cornbread in a large mixing bowl. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a small pan over medium heat and let it bubble until the milk solids to start to turn golden. Add the sage leaves and briefly fry until beginning to crisp, about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, remove sage and put on top of cornbread to drain and crisp. Remove the butter from the heat. Add the eggs and cooked onions to the cornbread and pour the browned butter over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the onion infused water, a tablespoon at a time, gently folding, until cornbread is evenly moistened but not soggy. Pour the dressing into a 9 by 11-inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown in color and the dressing is set in the middle, about 30 minutes.

CLASSIC SOUTHERN CORNBREAD (EASY AND HOMEMADE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
• Next add in the eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, and buttermilk. Stir to combine. Be sure not to over mix the batter. Over-mixing will lead to large cracks in the crust and a lot of crumble. Only mix well enough to combine the ingredients.
• Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and then grease the entire skillet including the edges.
• While the skillet is hot, pour the mixture into the cast iron skillet.
• Remove the pan from the stove and place it in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and return clean.
• I like to cool the cornbread completely prior to slicing and let it cool for at least 20 minutes.
• A traditional method for removing the cornbread is to flip the cast iron skillet over and slice from there.
