Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal yellow or white
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • as needed oil for frying

Instructions 

  1. In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal with the remaining 1 cup of water.
  2. Slowly add the cornmeal mixture to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add salt and butter.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour into a loaf pan and refrigerate until firm.
  4. Once firm, cut the mush into slices. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the slices until golden brown on both sides.
