Cornmeal Mush

 

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup cold tap water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups hot tap water

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the cornmeal and cold tap water.
2. Meanwhile, in a 2 quart pan, combine the salt and hot water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
3. While the water is heating, add the cornmeal mixed with the cold water. Combining the cornmeal with cool water before adding it to the boiling water keeps the cornmeal from lumping up when it hits the hot water.
4. When the water and cornmeal boil, reduce the heat to low.
5. Allow the mush to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it is nicely thickened.
