2 cups chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups plain cornmeal
1/4 cup butter

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Over medium heat, cook onions and celery in chicken broth until tender--about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and gradually add cornmeal, stirring constantly to avoid lumping. Add butter and salt; stir. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add baking soda and baking powder to buttermilk; stir until mixture is very foamy. Gradually add milk mixture to cornmeal mixture, stirring constantly. Mix thoroughly. Gradually add the well-beaten eggs. Pour mixture into a greased baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve as a side dish with or without giblet gravy.
