Hasty-Pudding
Ingredients
Directions
In an open iron pot, bring water to a boil.
Dissolve salt in the water.
Slowly sift in Indian meal while stirring briskly with a wooden spoon.
Continue adding meal until the mixture is the consistency of water gruel.
Stir constantly for at least 30 minutes, keeping it boiling until it thickens.
Check consistency by placing a wooden spoon upright in the pudding.
