Cornmeal Porridge II

Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of milk in a large pot over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning on the bottom.

Slowly pour the 9 ounces of cornmeal into the boiling liquid while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps from forming.

Reduce heat to low and continue stirring frequently to prevent the porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Cook until the porridge reaches a smooth, creamy consistency and thickens enough to hold its shape slightly on a spoon, with no visible grittiness.

Taste and adjust consistency by adding more water or milk if needed, then transfer to serving bowls while hot.
