1 1/4 cups cold water

1 1/2 cups corn-meal

1 Tbl butter or margarine

1 tsp. salt

 

Stir corn-meal into 1 1/2 cups salted boiling water and 1 tbsp. butter

Bring to a brisk boil over high heat and cook for three minutes.

Continue cooking an additional three minutes, stirring the funchi vigorously

with a wooden spoon or palu di funchi.

When the mixture is very stiff and pulls away from the sides of the pan, remove

from the fire.

Turn out in to a deep, well-buttered bowl and cover with a plate. Now shake the

funchi down in the bowl, then invert it on a serving platter.

Eat along with your meal or put a condiment of choice on top to garnish and eat.
