Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups water
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal Martha White recommended
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Bring 2 3/4 cups water to a boil over high heat.
- Combine cornmeal, 1 cup cold water, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
- Gradually add the cornmeal mixture to the boiling water, constantly stirring while adding the mixture.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and cook the cornmeal until thick.
- Reduce heat to low and cover the pan.
- Cook 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour cooked cornmeal into a loaf pan.
- Cool the cornmeal to room temperature then refrigerate it for several hours.
- Turn the cornmeal out of the loaf pan and cut it into 1-inch slices.
- Put just enough oil in a skillet to cover the bottom.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and heat the oil until hot. It will begin to shimmer. Do not let it get too hot or begin smoke.
- Fry the cornmeal slices slowly in the hot oil until browned on the bottom.
- Gently turn the slices over in the pan and fry them until browned on the bottom.
- Serve fried mush hot with butter and syrup.
