👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Bring the milk, water and salt to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
    StoveSmall saucepan
  2. 2
    Add the cornmeal in a thin stream, stirring constantly so no lumps form. Turn down to low and simmer, stirring 20–25 minutes, until the polenta thickens.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Remove from the heat and add the butter and parmesan and stir.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Serve immediately.
