Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cornmeal Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 tsp of salt and gradually whisk in 2 cups of cornmeal until smooth. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Butter and Milk

    Once the cornmeal mixture is thickened, remove from heat and add 4 tbs of butter and 1 cup of milk. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Incorporating Add-Ins

  1. 3

    Mix in Optional Ingredients

    If using, fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tbs of chopped green onions into the cornmeal mixture. Season with ground black pepper to taste.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Mixture

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the cornmeal mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Once baked, allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm as a side dish or a light main.
