How to Make Mom's Cornmeal Mush
- In a double boiler, heat 4 cups of milk over simmering water until hot (do not boil).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of coarse cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of cold water until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Gradually pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot milk, whisking constantly to prevent clumping.
- Continue to cook and stir for 10 minutes, or until the mush begins to thicken.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, pour the cornmeal mush into two medium-sized loaf pans. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the mush into thick patties and fry in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides (optional).
