35 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups Water
2 teaspoons Salt
1⅓ cup Yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons Butter or margarine
1 Clove garlic; thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Dried basil
2 tablespoons Grated parmesan cheese

Directions

BASIL BUTTER

1. Lightly grease a 15½ X 10 ½ inch jelly roll pan.

2. Bring water and salt to boil in medium saucepan. Sprinkle in cornmeal, whisking to prevent lumps. Gently boil about 10 minutes, stirring often, until very thick (a spoon stands up in cornmeal) but still pourable.

3. Spoon hot cornmeal evenly in pan with a rubber spatula. Chill at least 1 hour until firm.

4. Basil Butter - melt butter with basil and garlic.

5. Heat oven to 425 F. Invert cornmeal on work surface. Cut into 35 squares. Arrange ½ at a time on jelly roll pan. Drizzle with basil butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

6. Bake 20-25 minutes until edges are crisp. Serve hot.
