Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add salt and stir.
Slowly whisk in the cornmeal in a steady stream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Add more liquid if too thick.
Once thick and creamy, stir in butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with black pepper.
Cook 2–3 minutes more until everything is fully combined. Serve hot for maximum creaminess.
