Mama's Couche Couche image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 -4 tablespoons bacon drippings (or vegetable oil)
cane syrup, to taste

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 (preferably) 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!
