Buttered Polenta - water

Method

• Bring water, oil and salt to a boil in a 4-quart heavy pot.
• Add polenta in a very slow stream, whisking while you add.
• Cook over medium heat, whisking for 2 minute.
• Reduce heat to low and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently with a long-handled wooden spoon (this helps to cut down on splatter), 45 minute.
• Remove from heat, then add butter and stir to incorporate.
• Serve immediately.
• Any leftovers will set up and can be sliced and fried -- that is yummy goodness!
