Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Bring the Water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Gradually whisk in the Cornmeal and Salt, reducing heat to low.
Cook, stirring constantly, for 20-25 minutes, or until the mush is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
While the mush is cooking, prepare the Maple Butter: In a small bowl, cream together the Unsalted Butter and Maple Syrup until light and fluffy.
Serve the Cornmeal Mush hot, topped with a generous dollop of Maple Butter.
