Right here’s what you want.
A word on just a few of the objects:

Cornmeal is bought incorrectly labelled as “polenta” in most shops in Australia! Polenta is definitely an Italian facet dish which is made utilizing cornmeal. Bought in packets labelled as “Polenta” in Australia just like the Marco Polo and Il Molino manufacturers (each bought at Woolworths). Don’t get immediate polenta.
And right here’s make it. It’s so simple as:

Notes
1. Cornmeal – Sold in packets labelled as “Polenta” in Australia like the Marco Polo and Il Molino brands (both sold at Woolworths), it’s a yellow finely ground grain. Do not get instant polenta.
2. Skillet – I used a 26cm/10″ cast iron skillet. You can use a similar size cake tin or loaf pan.
3. Make head – This can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 180C/350F for around 10 minutes. Or microwave briefly to warm through. Do not leave in skillet overnight – it will take on a metallic flavour.
