Title: Couche Couche
Categories: Cajun, Brunch
Yield: 4 Servings

1/4 c Oil
2 c Yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 ts Salt
1 ts Baking powder
3/4 c Milk
3/4 c Water

Heat the oil in a heavy pot or preferable a cast iron dutch oven.

Mix the dry ingredients, then add the milk and water. Pour the batter into
the hot oil, and allow a crust to form on the bottom before stirring.
Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally; cook for about
15 minutes.

Serve in bowls with milk and sugar, like a hot cereal.

A very old-time, traditional breakfast, couche couche is the Cajun version
of fried cornmeal mush. Typos By Jim Kirk - captain@iquest.net by
