This classic, three-ingredient Depression-era breakfast

 

Ingredients:

 

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

Instructions:

Prepare the batter: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cornmeal and sugar together.

Add water: Gradually stir in the water, ensuring the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Cook the mixture: Pour the batter into a lightly greased skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.

Flip and cook again: Once the bottom is crispy, carefully flip the mixture and cook the other side until it’s golden and crispy.

Serve: Remove from the skillet, cut into squares, and serve warm. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top for added sweetness.
