Ghana Cornmeal Dumplings

Ingredients:

6 cups cold water

Salt

3-1/2 cups cornmeal

Cooking Instructions:

Pour the water in a medium heavy-based pan or cast-iron pot. Salt the water and bring it to a boil. Transfer half the boiling water to another pot and keep it at a low boil. Add the cornmeal to the rest of the water in the pan. With a wooden spoon, stir vigorously, pressing against the inside of the pan to eliminate lumps as the dough cooks. Continue to press the dough against the insides of the pan, adding small quantities of the reserved boiling water, until the dough tastes less floury, softens, and cooks through. Remove from the pan and form into balls the size of tennis balls.
