Bread Stuffing

Use very stale bread crumbs for sutffing. Put four cups of coarse bread crumbs into a bowl and pour on one cup boiling water. Let absorb for half an hour. Squeeze out any excess water, leaving moist but not soppy breadcrumbs. Beat one egg and add together with half a cup of melted fat. Mix together one cup chopped celery, one chopped onion and minced parsley. Combine this with the bread-crumb mixture and stuff poultry. This amount will fill a six-pound bird.

Celery Stuffing

2 eggs

2 tablespoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 quart stale bread crumbs

Chop the celery. Mix the celery with the salt and pepper and add the slightly beaten eggs.

Melt the fat or butter and add the bread crumbs. Combine the two mixtures and use to stuff chickens preferably.
