Instructions: They keep well in refrigerator.

Lightly spray an 11 x 7" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Bring water to a boil in a med saucepan over medium heat.

In a small bowl, combine cornmeal, oats, cinnamon, and sugar, mixing well.

Add to boiling water, stirring briskly with a fork or wire whisk to prevent
lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove
from heat and stir in vanilla and raisins.

Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan.

Cover and chill overnight.

To Serve:
*NOTE: I decreased the sugar a bit... original recipe was 3 T sugar.

Cut chilled mixture into 8 even pieces.

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place patties in skillet and cook until crisp
on both sides, turning several times.

Serve hot, drizzled with maple syrup or spread with your favorite jam.

This was pretty good. I will make it again but add a bit of salt to it.

I
liked it better with seedless raspberry jam on it.

NOTES : This was pretty good. I will make it again. It is nice that you can make it the night before and then cook it in the morning.

Also very nice that it keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days.

Mine did not seem to set up as well as I expected, and when I

"fried" them, they got even softer. They taste wonderful, but I think I may try it with 1/2 cup less water next time-Id like to get them to a firm enough consistency to be able to carry them to work for breakfast on the run. [NFRITZ@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov]
