This is a favorite hot breakfast cereal of the Amish and Mennonite. This is much like cream of wheat. It is a creamy honey flavored corn pudding. Warms the tummy!

Steps:
- 1. In a large saucepan, combine the honey, salt, butter and 3 cups of the milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and remaining 1 cup of milk. Add the cornmeal mixture gradually to the milk mixture, whisking until smooth. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, whisking occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- 3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Stir 1 cup of the hot cornmeal into eggs and whisk until smooth. Gradually stir the cornmeal-egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cover, and cook on low heat until thick, stirring frequently. Ladle into serving bowls and serve immediately with milk, if desired (I like mine without the milk)
CORNMEAL PUDDING (POLENTA)
Steps:
- 1) In a large saucepan, add the water, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. 2) Lower the heat to medium. Using a heavy wooden spoon, stir in polenta a little at a time, always stirring in the same direction. When all the polenta has been stirred, mixture should start to thicken. 3) Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to stir vigorously and constantly in the same direction for about seven minutes. 4) Remove from the heat, add the butter and the Romano cheese, and blend thoroughly. 5)Lightly coat a work surface with the olive oil. Pour the polenta over area and spread evenly to 1/2 in thick and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Alternatives: Add 1/2 c of cheve(goat cheese) and 2 tbsp of heavy cream in place of Romano cheese. For richer, add 1/3 c of mascarpone along with butter and romano cheese.

Tips:
- Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but be sure to check the expiration date.
- Soak the cornmeal in milk before cooking. This will help to soften the cornmeal and make it more creamy.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. Cornmeal pudding can be made sweet or savory, so adjust the amount of sugar or honey to your liking.
- Add spices to taste. Cornmeal pudding can be flavored with a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Bake the cornmeal pudding in a greased baking dish. This will help to prevent the pudding from sticking to the dish.
- Serve the cornmeal pudding warm or cold. Cornmeal pudding can be served as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner dish.

Cornmeal pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover cornmeal, and it can be customized to your liking with a variety of flavors and toppings.
