Corn meal mush is exactly like cream of wheat, except it's corn instead of wheat. Which is great for all of you gluten-free people! I make this as a hot cereal because it is so much cheaper ($0.15 for a bowl). The recipe below makes two 1-cup servings.
Corn Meal Mush
Ingredients:
1 cup corn meal
1 cup water
1/4 tsp. salt
Milk
Honey, maple syrup or sugar to taste
Instructions:
Put all ingredients in a small sauce pan and stir, bringing to a boil. After the cereal cooks for 30 seconds to a minute, it will be done. When it is hard to stir and there are blobs of cereal flying up in your face, it is probably done. Serve with a little milk and sweetener of your choice.
Sometimes corn meal mush is also called "polenta".
You can also let the corn meal mush solidify in the refrigerator, slice it up, and fry it in bacon grease or other animal fat to be used as a side dish.
