This is delicious served with syrup or ketchup - your preference, and served alongside eggs. We also like to eat it here in Lancaster County with milk - or just browned butter - right after it's cooked. (before putting it in the loaf pan) Otherwise, pour it into the loaf pan & let it cool, then keep it in the refrigerator until cooled completely & it can easily be sliced. This recipe is so simple, I was almost embarrassed to post - but it's what we eat here - and I've seen numerous requests for this - so here it is! ENJOY!

Tips:

  • To make the creamiest mush, use fresh, stone-ground cornmeal. You can also use medium or coarse cornmeal, but the texture will be slightly less creamy.
  • Use water or milk, or a combination of both, to make the mush. Water will produce a lighter, less creamy mush, while milk will produce a richer, creamier mush.
  • Add salt to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Cook the mush over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will prevent the mush from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Once the mush has thickened, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the mush is cooked through.
  • Serve the mush hot, with butter, salt, and pepper. You can also add other toppings, such as maple syrup, fruit, or nuts.
