Fried Cornmeal Mush Recipe

Fried Cornmeal Mush Recipe Rating 5

I've been eating cornmeal mush ever since I was a little girl. Now it's become popular with my family. I especially love this version because the batter is made ahead of time and fried the next morning.

I love corn meal mush, and was so glad to find this recipe. I do make mine a little differently...What I make we always called it "Scrapple" or "Paun Haus".

I was taught by my mother & she was taught by my grandfather to use the broth from a pork roast instead of the water, also we take little tiny pieces of the pork roast & stir it in while it is finishing cooking. I only season my pork roast with salt & pepper. Then pour into the loaf pan, cool out completely, slice, flour & fry. Try this sometime for a change of pace. Very very good!

I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS RECIPE YET BUT MY MOM MADE IT WHEN I WAS A KID . CORNMEAL MUSH WAS ALWAYS MY BREAKFAST AND OATMEAL WAS MY SISTERS. MY HUSBAND IS NOT A FAN OF CORNMEAL ANYTHING SO I HAVEN'T MADE MUCH WITH IT OVER THE YEARS BUT TO ME IT SOUNDS GOOD. I FOUND A RECIPE FOR A POLENTA LASAGNA AND THOUGHT IT SOUNDED GOOD SO GOT TO LOOKING FOR A RECIPE. IF YOU TYPE IN POLENTA YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING BUT JUST TYPE IN CORNMEAL MUSH AND SOME COMES UP. I AM GOING TO HAVE FUN WITH THIS.

My husband was talking about this while we were at the store only his mother fried up sausage and mixed with it before putting it in the loaf. Thought that sounded pretty good- clogger in NE

I am so glad I found this! My grandmother use to make this for me and I use to buy it in the store. Now I can hardly find it and when I do the price is high. Thank you!
