Mama's Couche Couche

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 cups yellow cornmeal
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 -4 tablespoons bacon drippings (or vegetable oil)
• cane syrup, to taste

Recipe

• 1 combine the cornmeal, salt, baking powder, milk or water in a bowl and mix to blend. the mixture will be like damp sand.
• 2 heat the drippings in a cast-iron (preferably) medium-size or large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. add the corn meal mixture and allow a crust to form on the bottom, much like you would do to make cornbread.
• 3 reduce the heat to medium and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a metal spatula to stir and fold the crust, breaking up large lumps, until the mixture is golden brown and resembles crumbled cornbread, about 15 minutes.
• 4 serve hot, with cane syrup, or honey drizzled over the top. maple syrup if you must - lol!
