Cornmeal mush is a simple dish made from cornmeal, water, and sometimes milk or butter. It is cooked on the stovetop until thickened and can be served hot or allowed to cool and solidify into a firm texture. It can be enjoyed plain or with added sweeteners like sugar, honey, or maple syrup, or savory toppings like cheese or herbs. It's a comforting and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a side dish, or even as a dessert!
