Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup hot water
- 1.5 cups kolot cheese (or stretchy string cheese)
- A pinch of salt
Method
- Melt the butter completely in a copper pan over medium heat.
- Add the cornmeal to the melted, bubbling butter and roast until the color changes slightly.
- Slowly add the water to the roasted cornmeal and stir quickly to prevent lumps.
- Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat and cook until the butter rises to the surface.
- Add the shredded kolot cheese and let it sit without stirring until the cheese melts and releases its oil.
- When the cheese has completely melted into a stretchy consistency, remove from heat and serve hot.
Roasting the cornmeal on low heat until aromatic doubles the flavor.
