Step by Step Method
Step 1
Using a pastry brush, spread the softened butter on the bottom and sides of an 8"x6" or 9"x6" shallow baking dish. Set aside.
Step 2
Place milk, water and oil in a heavy 3-4 quart saucepan.
Step 3
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 4
Add cornmeal in a slow, thin stream, stirring constantly, so that liquid continues to boil as cornmeal is absorbed.
Step 5
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is so thick that spoon will stand unsupported in center of pan.
Step 6
Spoon into buttered dish while hot, spreading it out and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Step 8
Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut the chilled cornmeal into 2" squares and gently lift them out of the dish with a small metal spatula.
Step 9
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy skillet over moderate heat.
Step 10
Add 4 or 5 of the cornmeal cakes to the pan and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning gently with a spatula.
Step 11
Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more butter if necessary.
Step 12
Serve immediately. Makes 12.
