This recipe takes the classic cornmeal mush to a new level by adding a touch of butter and a hint of sweetness, making it a delightful treat for any meal.
Combine the water, cornmeal, salt, butter, and sugar in a saucepan.
Whisk continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Keep the heat low to avoid scorching the bottom.
Pour the cooked mixture into a loaf pan and let it cool completely.
Allow it to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for easier slicing.
Slice the chilled loaf into thin pieces.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Fry the slices in a pan with a bit of oil until golden brown on both sides.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the slices for a crispy texture.
Serve the fried slices warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
Try serving with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.
