Polenta

• 3 cups cold water
• 3 cups boiling water
• 2 cups

Stir the meal gradually with the cold water to form a smooth mixture. Slowly add it to the boiling salted water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. If in a double boiler, cook without further stirring for three hours. If in a heavy iron pot, stir gently now and then for an hour with a wooden paddle, taking care not to disturb the crust that will form against the pot.
