Grandma's Fried Mush

Here is my version of Grandma's Fried Mush:

Makes enough for 4 for breakfast.
easy to double if you want more for later.

1 cup cornmeal (I use Breakneck Acres)
1/3 cup lard
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
approx. 4-5 cups warm water.

Bring sugar, lard, salt, and 2 cups water to boil.
Whisk cornmeal with 1 cup warm water to remove lumps.
Add gradually to boiling water on stove.
Return to soft boil then turn heat to medium-low.
Continue to stir and cook adding more water as necessary.
Cook about 20 minutes.  A thin layer should stick to the spoon.
Grease a loaf pan. Pour mush into loaf pan.
Cool until set. I place in the fridge.
If you can do this a day before it will set up more for frying.

Frying:
Put 1-2 tablespoon of lard, butter, or bacon fat on non-stick skillet.
Cut rectangle slices from loaf pan and fry 3-5 minutes per side.

Serving:
Serve warm with a big dollop of butter and maple syrup.
