  • CORN BREAD STUFFING

    1 ¼ cup Indian Head White Corn Meal
    ½ cup Washington Self-Rising Flour
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    1 egg
    2 tablespoons oil
    1 ¼ cup milk

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine corn meal, flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Mix together with a wire whip or spatula. Add oil, egg, milk and mix until batter is uniform. Pour batter into a well-greased 8”x8” pan. Bake 18-22 minutes.

    Now that the corn bread is ready, you may now prepare the stuffing as follows:

    Washington Corn Bread, cooled and crumbled (use all of the corn bread)
    1 tablespoon butter or margarine
    1 cup chopped onion
    ¾ cup chopped celery
    2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 eggs, beaten
    ¾ cup broth or water

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in large skillet. Sauté onion and celery over medium heat, approximately 5 to 10 minutes or until tender. In large bowl combine onion and celery with all ingredients. Mixture should be moist and stick together. Spoon into lightly greased 8-in square baking pan. Cover with foil. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 6-8 servings.

  • SEASONED FISH OR SEAFOOD BREADING

    ¾ cup Indian Head White Corn Meal
    ½ cup all-purpose flour
    1 ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
    ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    ¼ teaspoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    ½ teaspoon ground cumin
    (For spicier seafood, add ¾ teaspoon red and ½ teaspoon of chili powder)

    Pan Fried or Deep Fried Fish:
    Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Dip fish fillets in water and then place them in the breading mixture, turning several times to coat the fish. Pour about ¼” of vegetable oil in a large skillet and heat on medium. Fry coated fish 2-3 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. If deep frying, fry fish at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes.

    Oven-Fried Fish:
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour just enough oil into a shallow pan to cover the bottom. Coat fish fillets as directed above and place in pan, turning to coat both sides with oil. Bake for 10-20 minutes, turning the fish when half done. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish.
