2026 Editor's Note: While the recipe here uses flour, in the American colonies 'hasty pudding' came to mean a dish made with ground Indian corn . This adaptation is famous from its mention in the lyrics of "Yankee Doodle," , a traditional eighteenth-century American song. The American version, often called "mush" by early western Virginia settlers, was made by slowly cooking cornmeal in water until thick and typically served with butter and a sweetener. This simple cornmeal porridge was considered sufficiently versatile to serve as the base for more elaborate dishes, such as a baked lemon pudding made by enriching warm mush with butter, sugar, eggs, and lemon.
