Fried Corn Meal Mush – a childhood favorite, that you can make anytime.

Fried Corn Meal Mush – a childhood favorite, that you can make anytime.

This is from the archives of my grandmother, Ethel Eynard.  Jefferson City, MO.  1980.  This actually is quite tasty, I remember enjoying this many times while I was growing up.

2 3/4 C. water
1 C. Martha White Yellow Corn Meal
1 C. cold water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar

Bring 2 3/4 cups water to a boil.  Combine corn meal, cold water, salt and sugar; gradually add this to boiling water stirring all the time.  Cook until thick.  Reduce heat and cover pan, cook 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.  Pour into a loaf pan and cool, then refrigerate several hours.  Turn out of pan and cut in 1-inch slices.  Fry slowly in hot fat turning once.  When browned serve hot with butter and syrup.

    I fell in love with your website when I saw this recipe. I was immediately transported back to Mom’s kitchen. This was a mainstay for my Grandma who raised 13 children on a miner’s pension. Although it is thrifty it is delicious and one never felt poor when eating it.
