Uncle Ellis' Cornmeal Gravy is inspired by the childhood memories from his chef de cuisine of food enjoyed in the Mississippi Delta. Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain red or white cornmeal |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 teaspoon bacon drippings |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 cup hot water |
Directions:
1. Cook cornmeal in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in salt, pepper, and drippings. Stir together buttermilk and hot water; gradually whisk into cornmeal mixture. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened. Whisk in additional buttermilk for desired consistency.
