Mama's Couche Couche
A simple cajun breakfast delicacy, pronounced coosh-coosh." warm cane syrup and café au lait would be appropriate accompaniments. this is home cooking at its best. recipe from the new orleans times-picayune."
Steps
Combine the cornmeal , salt , baking powder , milk or water in a bowl and mix to blend.
The mixture will be like damp sand.
Heat the drippings in a cast-iron medium-size or large , heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the corn meal mixture and allow a crust to form on the bottom , much like you would do to make cornbread.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook , scraping the bottom of the pot with a metal spatula to stir and fold the crust , breaking up large lumps , until the mixture is golden brown and resembles crumbled cornbread , about 15 minutes.
Serve hot , with cane syrup , or honey drizzled over the top.
Maple syrup if you must - lol !.
