About 4 TBL Butter |
Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese |
Start as in polenta recipe when cornmeal is mixed into the boiling water & is smooth. Place pan over a pot of hot water (a double boiler); add the butter & 3/4 cup of the cheese. Stir until blended together well. Pour into a shallow pan cool until set & bake. I've even boiled em in soup! |

One old-fashioned use of cornmeal mush is to shape it in a greased loaf tin, let it solidify, then slice it. Dip the slices in beaten egg and fry it. Some like syrup on the "Fried mush." I always liked it plain with a little butter. P.S. It's one of those "depression days" standbys my mom used to make. |

Mix flour & salt, stir in cooled cornmeal & knead (you may have to add water or flour to get a soft workable dough). Pinch off about 12 pieces, flatten with hand & roll (on a cornmeal surface) out to about 6" circles. Heat on hot ungreased griddle for about a min; place into a bowl lined with a cloth to keep them warm. If there are left over reheat the next day. I have also fried them the next day for chips :>) |

This is a recipe I have used with both cornmeal and corn I've put through my grinder. Take about two cups of cornmeal and mix with (I think) about 4 cups of water. Cook in a crockpot for three hours. You need to scrape the sides of the pot occasionally, as it will want to stick. Put in the fridge to cook, then slice and fry in a pan. It is real good anytime. |
