Instructions

It is made of cornmeal, milk, molasses, spices like cinnamon, ginger,
cloves, allspice and of course a bit of salt. You cook 4 cups of
milk and 1 cup of cornmeal on top of the stove until thickened, add
sugar and molasses to taste and season with spices to taste and put
the mixture into a buttered heavy baking pan (I use a 2 quart
enameled cast iron casserole). You pour an additional cup of cold mil
over and bake at 350 until the milk disappears. Repeat the process
with another cup of milk and cook until thickened (all the baking is
without stirring). I don't have my recipe here at work, but that is a
close approximation.

close enough - the cooking temp. and time vary alot, some being quite
low for several hours, some being over 350 and hour. It is the sort
of thing you would put in a slow oven with the bean pot.

It is an american colonial recipe - the one i have seen dates from the
early 1700's. It's presumably a variant of something the native
americans made with corn - they would not have had the molasses or
the spices, but would have had maple syrup.
