- Bring the water to a rapid boil in a heavy covered pot.
- Add the salt and slowly add the meal to the boiling water, stirring all the time.
- I like to use a wire whisk for this.
- Continue stirring until the cornmeal thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat down low and cover the pot.
- Continue to simmer lightly, stirring the pudding several times for 30 minutes more.
- Add the 4 tablespoons flour to the mixture.
- Whip it in, in a hurry.
- Pour the mush into an oiled loaf pan and chill overnight.
- In the morning slice the cold mush 1/4-inch thick and fry in oil, butter, bacon fat or a mixture of the same.
- Fry it slowly until it takes on a golden and crunchy crust.
- This will take some time, 15 minutes or so on each side.
- *Flour the slices before frying--they'll brown evenly and taste wonderful!
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
