3. Put a large spoonful of butter in a quart of hot water. Wet your corn meal with cold water in a bowl. Add some salt and make it quite smooth. Then put it in the buttered water when it is hot. Let it boil, stirring it continually until done. As soon as you can handle it make it into a ball and let it stand until cold. Then cut it in thin slices, lay them in the bottom of a deep dish so as to cover it, put on it slices of cheese, then bits of butter, then mush, then cheese, then butter until the dish is full. Bake in quick oven for 20 or 30 minutes. Cheese and butter should be on top.
