- 3. In a bowl I put my cornmeal and start adding water. it will be about as thick as a cake batter. Remove skillet from oven and pour cornmeaml mixture into the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- 4. When done dump out onto a plate and serve hot. Do not let it sit in the skillet or it will "sweat" and make the crust soggy.
