Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ounce tube plain polenta
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter (plus more for serving)
  • Powdered sugar (for serving)
  • Pure maple syrup (for serving)
  • Fresh summer fruits (for serving)
  • Whipped cream (for serving (optional))

Method
 

  1. Slice your polenta into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick rounds.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a pat of butter.
  3. Add half the polenta rounds (or however many fit in one layer). Cook for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden and crisp on the edges.
  4. Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining polenta.
  5. To serve, divide the hot polenta pancakes among plates. Add fresh fruit to each plate.
  6. Sprinkle the pancakes with powdered sugar and a generous amount of maple syrup. Add a pat (or two) of softened butter and watch it melt all over. Eat immediately!

Notes

- Use a good quality, salted butter for the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the polenta slices to ensure crispiness.
- Serve immediately after adding the butter to enjoy the glorious melt.
