To make hot polenta with cold milk, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups of water
– 1 cup of coarse cornmeal
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1 cup of whole milk
– 1 teaspoon of honey
Directions:
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat.
2. Add the salt to the water and gradually pour in the cornmeal, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the polenta, stirring frequently, for about 20-30 minutes or until it has thickened and the cornmeal is cooked through.
4. Once the polenta has cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the honey and milk until well combined.
5. Transfer the hot polenta to a serving dish and let it cool for a few minutes.
6. Serve the hot polenta with cold milk on top.
Tips:
– For a creamier polenta, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
