Ingredients
1 ½
cup
white cornmeal
1
cup
water or milk
I used a combination of each
Instructions
Heat 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan until it boils.
In the meantime, beat 2/3rds of a cup of the cornmeal with the cup of cold water or milk to a smooth paste.
Gradually work this mixture into the boiling water, stirring constantly.
Cook for 5 minutes, gradually adding the remaining cornmeal as you do so.
When the mixture thickens sufficiently to come away from the sides of the pot take off the heat.
Turn the fufu into a lightly-greased bowl and with wet hands shape into a smooth ball.
Serve immediately
