👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix together cornmeal, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes.

If using as cereal, spoon mush into bowls and serve with milk and sugar, if desired.

If frying, pour mixture into a loaf pan and chill completely.

Remove from pan, cut into slices, and fry in a small amount of oil over medium-high heat until browned on both sides.

Serve with sauce of your choice.
