What’s the difference between cornmeal and polenta?
Cornmeal is ground corn and polenta is a dish made from the same grain. Polenta is also referred to cornmeal mush and that is because it needs to be boiled when preparing.
Cornmeal vs Cornflour?
Both are ground corn. Cornmeal has a grittier texture and cornflour (also known as cornstarch) is milled to a finer consistency. Each will give a different texture outcome.
I don’t have a cast iron skillet can I bake in a pan?
I used a 10″ cast iron skillet for this recipe, however a 9×9-inch pan will work just as good or even a 10 x 8″ pan.
How long do I bake cornbread muffins?
It can take as quick as 15 minutes to bake if using a muffin tin.
