Grease an 8-inch loaf tin with cooking spray and set aside.

In a soup pot or deep skillet, bring the chicken broth to a boil.

While waiting, combine the cold water and cornmeal in a mixing bowl until it forms a paste.

Once the broth boils, add the cornmeal paste and mix to combine.

Reduce to low heat, and simmer the cornmeal for roughly 20 minutes, stirring frequently. The cornmeal is cooked once there is no grainy taste.

Once the cornmeal is cooked, season with salt, then mix to combine.

Transfer to a greased loaf tin, cover, then store in a chilled area until set (preferably overnight).

Once the cornmeal is set, remove it from the loaf tin. Cut the cornmeal into thin slices.

Heat up melted butter in a skillet, then fry the mush until crispy and golden brown on both sides.

Serve with any of the following sauces: maple syrup, sausage gravy, apple butter, or tomato gravy.
