The prep time given is for cooking on the stove top and does not include chilling overnight. Ingredients:
6 cups boiling water |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup yellow cornmeal |
4 tablespoons flour |
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a rapid boil in a heavy covered pot.
2. Add the salt and slowly add the meal to the boiling water, stirring all the time.
3. I like to use a wire whisk for this.
4. Continue stirring until the cornmeal thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Turn the heat down low and cover the pot.
6. Continue to simmer lightly, stirring the pudding several times for 30 minutes more.
7. Add the 4 tablespoons flour to the mixture.
8. Whip it in, in a hurry.
9. Pour the mush into an oiled loaf pan and chill overnight.
10. In the morning slice the cold mush 1/4-inch thick and fry in oil, butter, bacon fat or a mixture of the same.
11. Fry it slowly until it takes on a golden and crunchy crust.
12. This will take some time, 15 minutes or so on each side.
13. *Flour the slices before frying-they'll brown evenly and taste wonderful!
14. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
