Unbelievably yummy. Not your normal corn meal mush, this is sweet.

2C milk
1/3 C corn meal
¼ - ½ C sugar



Melt butter
Add rest of ingredients.
Cook over medium heat, stirring it until it thickens ( about 5 – 10 min)

Cornmeal's the semolina stuff you use to make Polenta?
I tried making polenta once :( texture was gritty and horrid :(

I love bought polenta though :)

Cornmeal is a meal ground from dried maize. It is a common staple food, and is ground to fine, medium, and coarse consistencies, but not as fine as wheat flour. In the United States, very finely ground cornmeal is also referred to as corn flour. Wikipedia



This is more meant for me:
Substitutions: 1 cup plain cornmeal + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt = 1 cup self-rising cornmeal; 1 1/4 cup cornmeal + 3/4 fat-free milk + 1 tbsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt + 1 egg, lightly beaten = self-rising cornmeal mix
