CORNMEAL MUSH
This is a basic recipe for a very easy and versatile dish. You can eat it like hot cereal, or chill it and then fry it. This goes well with syrup as a breakfast dish, or with savory sauces and vegetables for dinner.

Steps:
- Mix together cornmeal, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- If using as cereal, spoon mush into bowls and serve with milk and sugar, if desired. If frying, pour mixture into a loaf pan and chill completely. Remove from pan, cut into slices, and fry in a small amount of oil over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Serve with sauce of your choice.

CORNMEAL MUSH FRIED AND BASIC RECIPE- JULY17 2012
We had this a lot growin' up and when you did not prepare to fix the basic recipe in advance, you could go to the piggly wiggly or local Solo market and buy a package of cornmeal mush. ( looked a lot like what veleveeta comes in these days, a square that you sliced and fried up)I have my GMa's recipe somewhere but for quick-like...

Steps:
- 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. Allow the mush to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it is nicely thickened. If your cornmeal is less than fresh, you may add half a tablespoon of sugar to make it taste fresher and sweeter.
- 5. Take this mixture, pour in to loaf pan(s) and place in fridge, covered with foil or plastic wrap, for at least 12 hours. If you are using store bought mush: Proceed from here: Remove from frige, slice in 1/4 to 1/2 in slices. Dredge in flour or cornmeal (you can also skip this dredgin step) and fry in bacon grease in iron skillet until brown and crispy- about 2 to 3 mins a side. Drain on paper towel.
- 6. This is a fantastic replacement for taters and you can use salt and peppa, serve with fried eggs and bacon. You can also put syrup on them for a sweet treat. You can cover them in gravy (tomato or milk gravy) have them as a savory side. It is yummy with cheese, garlic butter, herbs of choice, etc..Your imagination is the limit.

This is not the fried polenta version--you eat this in a bowl like oatmeal. Add a little milk and sugar to your taste--Mmm!

FRIED CORNMEAL MUSH
I've been eating cornmeal mush ever since I was a little girl. Now it's become popular with my family. I especially love this version because the batter is made ahead of time and fried the next morning.

BACON N CORNMEAL FRIED MUSH
This is my Grams recipe...I can still see her getting out her bacon grease and frying this for breakfast, with her homemade maple syrup...Yum! My kids love this recipe and asked me to make some for tomorrow morning...I was happy to oblige. Such a simple recipe...fry it in leftover bacon grease and you'll be in hog...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the salt. Once boiling, whisking constantly, slowly pour in the cornmeal. You may still get a few lumps and that's okay. Reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the bacon.
- 2. Spread into a greased bread pan, or I used a bit wider dish, as long as it's thick enough to slice. Cover and chill overnight.
- 3. Slice the mush into 1/2 inch to 1 inch slices.
- 4. Coat the bottom of a skillet ( I use my iron skillet.) with bacon grease or butter. Either coat with flour or without, and fry until golden and crisp around the edges.
- 5. Note: Sometimes Gram would dip in flour then brown it. Either way its yummy! I fried some with and without the flour. You can also make it without the bacon.
- 6. Serve with butter & maple syrup if desired...so good!

Steps:
- Bring the water to a rapid boil in a heavy covered pot.
- Add the salt and slowly add the meal to the boiling water, stirring all the time.
- I like to use a wire whisk for this.
- Continue stirring until the cornmeal thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat down low and cover the pot.
- Continue to simmer lightly, stirring the pudding several times for 30 minutes more.
- Add the 4 tablespoons flour to the mixture.
- Whip it in, in a hurry.
- Pour the mush into an oiled loaf pan and chill overnight.
- In the morning slice the cold mush 1/4-inch thick and fry in oil, butter, bacon fat or a mixture of the same.
- Fry it slowly until it takes on a golden and crunchy crust.
- This will take some time, 15 minutes or so on each side.
- *Flour the slices before frying--they'll brown evenly and taste wonderful!
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Steps:
- Place some water into a soup bowl and set aside.
- Place the two cups of water into a pan (I use a heavy pan to even out the heat).
- Measure the cornmeal and then spoon some of the water from the pan into the measuring cup.
- Use the spoon to allow the water to seep down into the cornmeal fully wetting it.
- Once fully wet, put heat under the pan and start spooning the wet cornmeal into the pan, stirring constantly to avoid clumping (for some reason attempting to simply put the dry cornmeal into the water directly tends to cause clumping).
- Use water from the pan to rinse out the measuring cup and set aside.
- Stir the water and cornmeal mix constantly while heating (this is important to avoid both clumping and burning).
- Stir and simmer the mixture until it thickens to the point where it requires a bit of help from the spoon to pour out of the pan.
- Immediately remove from heat, quickly empty the water from the soup bowl into the measuring cup and then pour/spoon the cornmeal mixture into the soup bowl (the water in the soup bowl will help in removing the set mush later).
- Dip a small spoon into the water in the measuring cup and use the bowl of the spoon to smooth and even the surface of the cornmeal mixture; use the tip of the spoon to go around the edge of the mixture and make it
- Set the bowl aside overnight to allow the mixture to set (I don't cover it, but if leaving it set more than overnight you might want to consider covering with cheesecloth).
- To use the mush, overturn the soup bowl onto a cutting board (shake a little if needed to release the mush).
- Cut into 1/4-inch slices (more or less to taste).
- Depending on consistency you may have to use a big knife to make the basic cut and a small knife dragged along the side of the big knife to release the mush from the big knife without breaking it.
- Fry these slices at 350-degrees on both sides in butter/margarine until a slight golden crust forms.
- If you use a griddle, while cooking you can place the plate under the griddle to warm it.
- Place on a plate and cover the mush with your favorite fruit jam (fig jam works well if you can get it and I also like my homemade strawberry jam; but most fruit jams will work just fine).
