Cornbread

1 c. white or yellow cornmeal 1½ Tblsp. sugar or syrup
1 c. flour ¼ c. olive oil
1 tsp. baking powder 1 c. milk
½ tsp. salt 1 egg, beaten
optional: 1 large jalapeño pepper, minced, or
1 4-oz. can green chiles, chopped

Mix well all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another bowl.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir until well-combined.

Pour the mixture into a well-greased 9"×2" round, or 8"×8"×2" square, glass baking pan.  Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out dry.  Set aside and cool.  (Keep the oven on if you are going to continue making cornbread dressing.)


Cornbread Dressing

1 small pan cornbread, crumbled 1 stick butter, softened
4 c. yellow onion, chopped ½ cup olive oil
4 c. celery, chopped 4 tsp. poultry seasoning
½ tsp. pepper 2 tsp. ground sage
1 14½-oz. can chicken broth 3 eggs, beaten

Mix well all the ingredients together in a very large bowl.  (There is no reason to add salt, since there is plenty of salt in the butter and in the chicken broth.)  Pour the mixture into a well-greased 13½"×9½"×2" glass baking pan.  Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes.  This side dish provide 8 to 10 servings.
