Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring to a boil in a medium saucepan: 4 cups water or 2 cups each water and milk; 1 teaspoon salt
-
Step 2.
Whisk into the boiling liquid in a thin, steady stream: 1 cup fine white or yellow cornmeal
-
Step 3.
Stir until smooth. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring often, until the cornmeal loses its raw taste, about 30 minutes, stirring in a little more water if the mush becomes too thick. Spoon into bowls and drizzle over the top: Melted butter; Molasses, maple syrup, sorghum, or honey
