One Year Ago: Buttermilk Spice Cake with Pear Compote
Two Years Ago: Banana Layer Cake with Caramel Cream and Pecans
Ever heard of mush? Well, if you’re from the Midwest I’m guessing you have! If you’re from anywhere else in the United States you might call it fried polenta. Mush is something that we used to eat every so often while growing up. We would buy it in an already prepared round, cut small slices and then fry in the butter. When the rounds were nice and toasty we would cover it with maple syrup…my favorite part! There is something that is so delicious about the buttery fried polenta and the sweet maple syrup. It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch and even dinner 
Enjoy!!!
Fried Mush:
A couple squares or rounds of prepared and set polenta
3 tablespoons butter
Maple syrup
Instructions:
Cut or slice your prepared polenta
Melt butter in pan until hot and add polenta slices. Cook over medium heat until brown and toasty. Once brown take out of the pan and set on paper towel lined plate.
Add to plate and cover in maple syrup.
Eat and enjoy!

Simple and sweet. You can’t beat that.
Mush is awesome (although i have definitely never called it that before
). I kind of want to make this as a breakfast for dinner next week. Yum! Enjoy your weekend!!
I’ve never heard it called that before – and I am from Chicago – I didn’t even know about polenta until I married my Italian husband – I missed out on it for so long!
Now I never thought to pair it with syrup either – love the sweet/savory combo! Enjoy your weekend!
MUST make!!!! I’d rather have these than pancakes. I love polenta and gritty corny things. It looks amazing and my mouth is just watering, thinking about the butter oozing on top and the glistening sweet maple syrup drizzle and dribbling….mmm…
It does look prettier than it’s name! I have seen it served in an Amish restaurant down here in Florida, but it was square. Nothing better than simple goodness.
I love polenta and the thought of covering it in maple syrup is giving me chills! (The good kind!)
So scrumptious, especially with maple syrup!
Yum! I think this is one of the best ways to eat polenta.
Whatever you call it, fried or grilled polenta has a wonderful flavor and texture. I love the idea of drizzling it with maple syrup.
Beautiful photos!
Oh my gosh, YES! Hot fried mush drizzled with maple syrup is a favorite of mine. Yum!!!
Yum! I have never seen polenta prepared this way. It sounds great! I love polenta and fried and drizzled with maple syrup must be wonderful:)

I love polenta and love maple syrup so this sounds incredible to me!
Yum! Sounds great to me!
I’ve never had it with maple syrup. Oh yum!
Me and mush are old friends! Never had it with maple syrup – I like these better than pancakes!
WOW didnt think people even ate Mush anymore . It was a staple of life growing up in Iowa. I have not had it in years
