Directions

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add the salt.

Cornmeal mush is wonderful, honest and humble! Don't know what you have missed if you have never tried this. It is wonderful, chilled in a loaf pan, sliced, and sizzled, and browned in butter with lots of black pepper!! Oh, it is SO good!!

Frodo suggest using beef stock in lieu of water and then using the cooked mush as a crust for tamale pie. In this way frodo, shows us that our imaginations is the only limit in using this versatile dish.
