Fried Cornmeal Mush

Mama usually stopped at the point you poured it into the bowl, She would fill our bowls 3/4 full and add butter, sugar and a little milk.. I can still taste it.. so darn good :)
 

2 c. cornmeal


2 c. cold water


6 c. boiling water


2 tsp. salt

Mix the cornmeal with the cold water; then stir into the boiling water to which the salt has been added. When thoroughly mixed, cover closely, stirring occasionally to prevent lumping, reducing heat to lowest point and let simmer for 30 minutes or longer. Pour into dish, let cool. When cold, cut into slices and fry in fat or shortening until crisp on each side. Serve with syrup.
