INGREDIENTS:
4 cups water 2 cups shelled, dried white corn clean sand



1 Add corn to water in a saucepan and bring to a rapid boil, stirring occasionally when corn starts to boil.
2 Keep corn at a rolling boil until one kernel swells and pops.
3 Remove corn from heat and drain.
4 Spread corn on a clean cloth and allow to dry in the open air of your house for three or four days.
5 When corn has dried, parch it in hot sand or place it in a pan and heat it in a 350 F. oven until it pops.
6 When corn has cooled sufficiently, grind it coarsely. (A hand corn or flour mill is ideal for this.) Winnow corn to remove hulls by placing it in a wire strainer and tossing it in the air.
7 Grind corn again, this time with a finer blade so that it resembles commercial cornmeal. Roast in a 350F. oven, stirring to prevent scorching, until corn is lightly browned.
8 When corn has cooled again, grind it into flour.
9 Store in air-tight containers in the refrigerator.
