Corn Meal Mush
 
 
This is half way between grits and cream of wheat, but my absolute favorite of the three.
 
1 cup    self-rising White or Yellow Corn Meal (I prefer white)  
4 cups    of water  
1 tsp    salt  
  light brown sugar  
  butter  
 
In large saucepan, bring 3 cups water and salt to a boil. In small bowl, mix corn meal with 1 cup cold water. Gradually stir corn meal mixture into salted boiling water. Cook 20 minutes, stirring constantly. Cover, and continue cooking on low heat till thickens, about 5 minutes for white corn meal or 10 minutes for yellow corn meal, stirring often. Serve hot with fresh butter and sugar.
 
Servings: 1
