A very old-time, traditional breakfast, couche couche is the Cajun version of fried cornmeal mush.
1/4 cup oil
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
Heat the oil in a heavy pot or preferable a cast iron dutch oven.
Mix the dry ingredients, then add the milk and water. Pour the batter into the hot oil, and allow a crust to form on the bottom before stirring. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally; cook for about 15 minutes.
Serve in bowls with milk and sugar, like a hot cereal.
Serves 4.
