1 cup water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/4 cups ground cornmeal
3/4 cup flour
Bring water and sugar to a boil. Lower heat and add cornmeal and flour. Stir over low heat for 5 minutes. Cover and put in double boiler on low for 1/2 hour. If too thick, add water. If too thin, add flour.
Knead dough when cool enough to handle. Divide dough into 5 parts. Wrap each piece tightly and freeze so it will be ready for those last-minute fishing trips.
Variation: This recipe can be varied by adding a tablespoon of peanut butter or a secret flavor of your own.
Testers note: This was the only recipe we did not test, as we're bluegill fishermen and bluegill prefer live bait. However, we spoke to Matt's mom, Venus, the editor of West Liberty's cookbook and a dedicated from-scratch cook. She verified the recipe works great.
