Mama'S Couche Couche

7 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 -4 tablespoons bacon drippings (or vegetable oil)
  • cane syrup, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the cornmeal, salt, baking powder, milk or water in a bowl and mix to blend. The mixture will be like damp sand.
  2. 2
    Heat the drippings in a cast-iron (preferably) medium-size or large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn meal mixture and allow a crust to form on the bottom, much like you would do to make cornbread.
  3. 3
    Reduce the heat to medium and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a metal spatula to stir and fold the crust, breaking up large lumps, until the mixture is golden brown and resembles crumbled cornbread, about 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Serve hot, with cane syrup, or honey drizzled over the top. Maple syrup if you must - LOL!
