Mush and milk for breakfast or
lunch makes simple dish fit for a
king-but like all other simple dishes
1t must be made just right or the king
won't like it. The secret of serving
cornmeal this way lies in plenty of
milk and not too much mush. In the
first place see that the mush is not
too thick-try out your recipes until
you find the knack of cooking it just
long enough. No one enjoys dry, thick
mush. Then serve moderate portions
with generous amount of milk or
cream on top-and have plenty more
in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins,
dates, figs and other dried fruits give
variety to the dish and please the chill
dren. They sweeten the mush and
save sugar.
The most common way of prepar-
ing mush is to allow the water to
come to the boiling point and to add
the meal slowly, stirring constantly.
The objection to this method is that
there is considerable danger that the
mush will become lumpy and often
times it is inconvenient and unpleas-
ant to stand over hot stove and stir
the mixture sufficiently to make it
smooth. A better method, therefore,
is the following:
Put the cornmeal, cold water and
salt together in the top of double
boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put
the top of the double boiler into the
lower part and allow the muSh to
heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or
longer, if convenient. Many people
cook it as long as four hours. Just
before serving remove the top Of the
double boiler from the lower part and
boil the mush for two or three min
utes. In boiling it at this time there
is no danger that it will lump.
