Fried Cornmeal Mush
Here’s an old time recipe you don’t hear of a lot anymore – Fried Cornmeal Mush!
3 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cornmeal
Put water and salt into the inner vessel of a double boiler. Add cornmeal slowly. Cook over direct heat for 10 minutes, then over boiling water for 30 minutes. Pour into a greased bread pan and cool.
Cut into slices. Roll in dry cornmeal and fry slowly on both sides until crisp and brown.
If used with bacon or sausage, season the mush with sage, and fry in bacon or sausage fat. If used as a dessert or with maple syrup, do not add sage, and fry in butter or shortening.
