BigDog's Anise Cornmeal Doughbait

Boil 1 1/2 cups of water. Once water is boiling add 1 tablespoon of McCormick's anise seed. Let the water get saturated with the anise juice. It will change color. Once this has been done, shut off burner.

VERY slowy add Quaker yellow cornmeal. Stir like crazy adding the meal. In short time you will not be able to stir it any more. Spoon it out onto the kitchen counter. Take a rolling pin and roll it out. Keep folding it and continue to roll.

Let it stand flat on the counter to dry for 30 minutes. Do not put in a baggy because it will start to 'sweat' and get sticky and wet. It's better to have a little dry then too wet. If it's a little dry, when you you get to your swim, wet your hands and work a tennis ball size of dough until it's right. Press into a ball and go to your swim with it in your pocket or seat of your car. GOOD CARPIN'
