Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |

| ⅔ | cup | Cornmeal |

Directions
Supposedly, this is an authentic recipe from Daniel Boone's wife Rebecca.
Ice cream [I prefer vanilla]
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bring milk to a boil in the top part of a double boiler. Stir in cornmeal and cook over hot water for 15 minutes. Stir in molasses [I use the light variety, but I guess dark would work as well], and cook for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
Stir in butter, sugar, ginger, and salt. Turn into an oven casserole and bake 1½ - 2 hours. Serve warm with ice cream.
Daniel and Rebecca served this warm with fresh-churned butter.
