  • form dough into a ball and place into an oiled bowl; turn the dough over in the bowl several times to oil the surface of the dough. cover the dough with a towel, set into a warm place, and allow to rise until double, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate and allow to cool; chop and set aside.
  • melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. cook the garlic in the melted butter until fragrant, about 1 minute. stir the cream into the butter mixture. add the egg yolks and whisk with the butter mixture until smooth. stir 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, the romano cheese, and nutmeg into the mixture; season to taste with salt. bring the sauce just barely to a simmer over low heat; cook and stir at a simmer until cheeses have melted and sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. remove from heat and set aside.

Cornmeal Mini-pizza Dough

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 ounce fast rising yeast (2 1/2 tsp)
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup hot water (130 deg f)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese or thinly sliced onions or gorgonzola or fresh rosemary or oregano or arugula or tomato

Recipe

  • 1 preheat oven to 500 deg. f.
  • 2 in a food processor, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and sugar. with motor running, pour in the hot water.
  • 3 turn motor off and add remaining ingredients. process mixture until it forms a ball, and then process 15 seconds longer to knead.
  • 4 turn out a lightly floured board and knead 10 times. to make two pizzas, cut into half; wrap one half well and freeze for up to one month.
  • 5 divide remaining piece in half. roll or press out each half into an 8" circle. transfer to a baking sheet and lightly brush or spray with additional olive oil.
  • 6 top with favorite toppings, season with salt and pepper. bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
  • 7 note1: white cornmeal works just as well. while the recipe calls for hot water, i usually use room temperature or even cool water - the action of the fp can heat up the dough quite a bit, so i would rather allow a little more time.
  • 8 note2: toppings must be thinly sliced; meats and some veggies should be cooked - this pizza is in the oven only a short time. i've never used a pizza sauce with this - if you do and it works, let us know!

Cornmeal Mush

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 2
  • 2 cups water (for cooking, more required to wet the bowl you will use to set the mush)
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • fruit jam, when serving

Recipe

  • 1 place some water into a soup bowl and set aside.
  • 2 place the two cups of water into a pan (i use a heavy pan to even out the heat).
  • 3 measure the cornmeal and then spoon some of the water from the pan into the measuring cup.
  • 4 use the spoon to allow the water to seep down into the cornmeal fully wetting it.
  • 5 once fully wet, put heat under the pan and start spooning the wet cornmeal into the pan, stirring constantly to avoid clumping (for some reason attempting to simply put the dry cornmeal into the water directly tends to cause clumping).
  • 6 use water from the pan to rinse out the measuring cup and set aside.
  • 7 stir the water and cornmeal mix constantly while heating (this is important to avoid both clumping and burning).
  • 8 stir and simmer the mixture until it thickens to the point where it requires a bit of help from the spoon to pour out of the pan.
  • 9 immediately remove from heat, quickly empty the water from the soup bowl into the measuring cup and then pour/spoon the cornmeal mixture into the soup bowl (the water in the soup bowl will help in removing the set mush later).
  • 10 dip a small spoon into the water in the measuring cup and use the bowl of the spoon to smooth and even the surface of the cornmeal mixture; use the tip of the spoon to go around the edge of the mixture and make it
  • 11 set the bowl aside overnight to allow the mixture to set (i don't cover it, but if leaving it set more than overnight you might want to consider covering with cheesecloth).
  • 12 to use the mush, overturn the soup bowl a cutting board (shake a little if needed to release the mush).
  • 13 cut into 1/4-inch slices (more or less to taste).
  • 14 depending on consistency you may have to use a big knife to make the basic cut and a small knife dragged along the side of the big knife to release the mush from the big knife without breaking it.
  • 15 fry these slices at 350-degrees on both sides in butter/margarine until a slight golden crust forms.
  • 16 if you use a griddle, while cooking you can place the plate under the griddle to warm it.
  • 17 place on a plate and cover the mush with your favorite fruit jam (fig jam works well if you can get it and i also like my homemade strawberry jam; but most fruit jams will work just fine).

Cornmeal Hoecakes

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 1 1/2 cups stone-ground white cornmeal (white if you are from the south, yellow if from the north) or 1 1/2 cups stone-ground yellow cornmeal (white if you are from the south, yellow if from the north)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • bacon drippings (or sausage drippings, vegetable oil, or a combination)
  • unsalted butter, softened
  • cane syrup or real maple syrup, warmed

Recipe

  • 1 preheat the oven to 325°.
  • 2 add the cornmeal to a heatproof medium bowl, preferably one with a spout for pouring; stir in the salt.
  • 3 place the bowl in the oven for 5-8 minutes to warm the meal through and toast it lightly.
  • 4 remove it from the oven as soon as it begins to deepen in color.
  • 5 pour the boiling water into the warm cornmeal, about ½ cup at a time, being cautious of the hot bowl.
  • 6 stir vigorously, eliminating any lumps; then mix in the milk.
  • 7 the batter will resemble a thick gruel; warm a griddle or large heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • 8 add just enough drippings to coat the surface with a thin film.
  • 9 spoon the batter by tablespoonfuls the griddle, leaving several inches between the dollops.
  • 10 with the back of a spatula, squash the batter down into cakes about 3 inches in diameter (the batter should bubble merrily; if it splatters menacingly, the griddle is too hot; lower the heat before continuing).
  • 11 make as many cakes as you can fit without crowding.
  • 12 cook the cakes until the batter appears quite firm (3-4 minutes); these take a little longer than traditional wheat-flour pancakes).
  • 13 turn carefully and cook cakes on the other side until medium brown and crispy (about 3 minutes).
  • 14 repeat with the remaining batter, adding a bit more water to the batter if it thickens and more fat to the griddle if necessary.
  • 15 the cakes are best right from the griddle but you can keep them warm in a low oven on baking sheets while you finish the entire batch; don’t stack the cakes until serving time.
  • 16 serve the hoecakes stacked on warm plates, topped with plenty of butter; pass the syrup separately to drizzle lightly over the cakes, if desired.
