This was one of my favorite foods as a kid.
I remember that a little local restaurant near my childhood home, The Cabbage Patch, would serve this, and I would always choose it for breakfast. :)
Cornmeal Mush
1 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup cold water
3 cups warm water
1 tsp. salt
Bring 3 cups of warm water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan.
In small bowl, mix corn meal with cold water.
Gradually stir corn meal mixture into salted boiling water. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cover, and continue cooking on low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour cooked corn meal into loaf pan. Refrigerate 2-3 hours or until firm. Remove from pan and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Roll in flour and pan-fry in a small amount of drippings until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
