Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 1/2 cups white cornmeal

Directions

  1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups of cornmeal with the remaining 1 cup water. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the cornmeal mixture to the boiling water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes, slowly adding the remaining cup of cornmeal.
  3. When the mixture is very thick and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, transfer to a serving bowl or plate. Use a wooden paddle or spoon to compress the mixture into a round shape (you may use wet hands to aid in the procedure).
