Review: Made it, it was good and not too sweet.
There's no salt in the recipe, so I added about a 1/4 tsp, could
probably go as high a 1/2 tsp.
*****THE BAKING POWDER IS SALTY
Since this is essentially a cake, I'm leery of over-mixing - so I
whisked away and when all seemed combined I poured it into a (9x9)
pan, as that's all I have, and baked it.
The result was good, but strange - the cornmeal mostly sunk to the
bottom, leaving a light, lush almost creamy layer on top. I suspect I
didn't beat it enough.
*****PREHEAT PAN (CAST IRON IF POSSIBLE) ADD OIL OR LARD AND
LET IT MELT/GET REALLY HOT. BATTER SHOULD SIZZLE WHEN YOU POUR IT IN.
HOPE THIS HELPS!
