  1. 1

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and reduce the heat to low.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Use a whisk to stir the water in a circular motion.
  2. 2

    Gradually whisk in the cornmeal to the simmering water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

    AI Wisdom: Stir in one direction to avoid clumping.
  3. 3

    Cook the polenta over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until thick and creamy, about 25-30 minutes. If too thick, add more hot water to adjust the consistency.

    โฑ๏ธ 30 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Low heat
    AI Wisdom: Polenta is ready when it gently bubbles and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. 4

    โฑ๏ธ 2 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Butter adds a luxurious finish to the polenta.
  5. 5

    Remove the polenta from heat and serve hot. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
