In many places in the country, it is consumed instead of bread. There are many types of polenta recipes, today we will make the simplest recipe.

When the water boils, we start to turn the flour into the water, stirring constantly with an eggbeater.

After I put all the flour, I put the fire down, and let it boil for about 10-15 minutes, stirring always to not burn.

Polenta is boiled well when it begins to peel off the edges of the pot, it is important to mix often.

Some make this dish more flowing, others thicker, depending on how they like it.

In the end, we put about 100 g of butter, stir until the butter melts and the cornmeal becomes creamy.
