Sauteed Cornmeal Slices

Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon mace
1 cup cold water
3 cups boiling water
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons Roberts Butter
hot maple syrup

Preparation

Mix cornmeal with salt, cinnamon and mace in a small bowl; stir in cold water. Pour mixture into boiling water in a medium saucepan, mixing well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into an ungreased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan; cool. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 4 hours. To serve, remove from pan; cut into 12 slices and coat with flour. Melt butter in large skillet; sauté slices until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve with additional Roberts Butter and hot maple syrup.
