2/3 cup Yellow Corn Meal
4 1/2 cups Milk
1/4 cup Butter
1/2 cup Molasses
1 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Scald 3 1/2 cups of the milk in top part of double boiler over direct heat.
Mix cornmeal with remaining 1 cup of cold milk. Add to scalding milk, stirring constantly. Place over boiling water and cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add butter, molasses, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Pour into greased baking dish (1 and a 1/2 quart). Bake for at least 1 and 1/2 hours. Serve warm with cream or vanilla ice cream.
Jane: I took this off an IndianHead cornmeal bag. Haven't tried it yet. Sounds like Mom's, only hers used a few more spices, like mace and cloves, I think. I seem to remember that was the first time she bought mace. I would use whole or 2 percent milk since whole was probably what was available back then when Mom made it. I don't have a double boiler so I'm just going to set a small pan in a bigger one with water in it.
