Ingredients:
2-qt. Water
1 1/2-tsp. Salt
2 2/3-cups Cornmeal
For Cooking:
Beacon Fat or cooking oil with a little bit of beacon fat
Bring water to a boil and add salt. Slowly add the corn meal, constantly stirring with a spoon. Turn down the heat to a simmer. Stirring often, cook for a half hour. Pour into a bread pan and smooth out top. Place in a refrigerator or cooler to firm up overnight. Note: When backpacking I use a Ziploc bag to form it in.
The next day cut one inch slices and fry in beacon fat. Serve buttered and salted or with syrup. It can be used in many ways.
