Cooked Cornmeal Mush

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup cold tap water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups hot tap water

In a small bowl, combine the corn- meal and cold tap water. Meanwhile, in
a 2 quart pan, combine the salt and hot water. Bring it to a boil over
high heat. While the water is heating, add the cornmeal mixed with the
cold water. Combining the cornmeal with cool water before adding it to the
boiling water keeps the cornmeal from lumping up when it hits the hot
water. When the water and cornmeal boil, reduce the heat to low. Allow the
mush to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it is nicely thickened. If
your cornmeal is less than fresh, you may add half a tablespoon of sugar
to make it taste fresher and sweeter. This is very hearty for breakfast,
and also makes a nice snack in the middle of the day. I like it with a
little margarine and shredded cheese, but it is equally good with sugar or
molasses and milk. This recipe serves 4 to 6 people
