Notes
Cornmeal is sold in various textures and colors, white, yellow, or blue depending on the type of corn used. Blue cornmeal is found mainly in Southwestern recipes. Yellow cornmeal is preferred for this recipe. Use a fine-grind cornmeal almost flour-like in texture over coarsely ground cornmeal.
The sugar measurement can be adjusted to your personal taste. Readers say they prefer 3/4 cup to 1 cup of sugar. Use an amount that makes your palate happy.
