Flora's cornbread dressing

Dressings American cuisine

I consider this an “heirloom recipe.” It’s from my “other mother,” Flora Hayden. All Flora’s kids LOVE this dressing and make it for every occasion. In addition to serving this with turkey, I use it to recreate Flora’s Baked Chicken and Dressing (browned pieces of chicken are “buried” in the dressing in a deep roaster and baked for about 1 1/2 hours) and to stuff double-thick pork chops. Once you’ve mastered the recipe, you’ll think of many ways to enjoy it.
