I copied this dressing recipe the other day:

2/3 C. onion, chopped
2 C. celery, chopped
2 quarts cornbread, grated
1 quarts biscuits, grated
1/4 C. parsley flakes
2 tsp. poultry seasoning
2 tsp. ground sage
1 tsp. ground black pepper
4 oz. margarine
1 quart canned chicken broth
14 oz. canned chicken broth

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix onion, celery, grated cornbread, and biscuits, parsley, poultry seasoning, sage, and pepper in a bowl.

Add melted margarine. Stir until blended.

Add chicken broth to dry ingredients and mix well.

Divide mixture evenly into two 8 x 8 inch pans sprayed with non-stick spray.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour until lightly brown on the top.

Why are there two entries for chicken broth?

Hmmm.......maybe the recipe is calling for 1 quart + 14 oz of broth?

I'd like to know, what is "1 quart of biscuits, grated"?

[software]

1 quart is not enough but 2 quarts would be too much.

Broth is sold by quart, and by 14 ounce cans too

The recipe requires 46 ounces of broth

@Mj12  I answered this in another thread.  I think grated biscuits refers to the use of a box grater--the four sided gadget with the handle on top.  For the proper size/texture I think I would use the side with the largest diameter openings.

@Mj12,

This is the recipe closest to the way I make dressing, although I never measure anything.   

I don't understand why the word grated was used instead of crumbled.   I just crumble my cornbread, and tear the biscuits and hamburger buns into small pieces.    I also cook the onions and celery in butter, then add and heat the chicken broth before pouring over the bread and stirring.

Our family prefers Pepperidge Farms Herbed Stuffing.  You add your own celery, onion, butter, and broth.  They like that the texture is a little more firm.

Thank you @aroc3435 and @RedTop for explaining.  I think what confused me the most is the measurement called for - 1 QT of biscuits.  Wouldn't it be a cup, etc.?  (not that it matters!)  

[RedTop]

@Mj12,

Yes, I think most people associate better with recipe measurements in cups.

Mine uses only cornbread and you cook the onions and celery in the butter.  Also only 32 oz of chicken broth.  It makes two 1 1/2 qt casserole dishes.  

Oh, and 6 eggs.
