How To Make bacon n cornmeal fried mush
-
Step 1In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the salt. Once boiling, whisking constantly, slowly pour in the cornmeal. You may still get a few lumps and that's okay. Reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the bacon.
-
Step 2Spread into a greased bread pan, or I used a bit wider dish, as long as it's thick enough to slice. Cover and chill overnight.
-
Step 3Slice the mush into 1/2 inch to 1 inch slices.
-
Step 4Coat the bottom of a skillet ( I use my iron skillet.) with bacon grease or butter. Either coat with flour or without, and fry until golden and crisp around the edges.
-
Step 5Note: Sometimes Gram would dip in flour then brown it. Either way its yummy! I fried some with and without the flour. You can also make it without the bacon.
-
Step 6Serve with butter & maple syrup if desired...so good!
