Cornmeal Mush

Directions

1. 1
   In a small bowl, combine the cornmeal and cold water.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, in a 2-quart pan, combine the salt and hot water.
3. 3
   Bring to a boil over high heat.
4. 4
   While the water is heating, add the cornmeal mixed with the cold water.
5. 5
   Combining the cornmeal with cold water before adding it to the hot water keeps the cornmeal from lumping up when it hits the hot water.
6. 6
   When the water and cornmeal boil, reduce the heat to low.
7. 7
   Allow the mush to smmer for about 10 minutes, or until it is nicely thickened.
