"Thanks for the suggestions & comments re. polenta/semolina/cornmeal!It's not something I'm familiar with and when I was a kid, "semolina" was, to me, a baked pudding dish. Yum with strawberry jam on a winter's day- just like today where I am!!!!! @//*_*\\@"

"Yeah, sounds nice and appears very easy to do. Without an ice-cream engine, for how many hours would I need to whisk it? Can anyone enlighten me?Thanks!"

"Sounds delish!Can anyone tell me though, is there a particular type/grade of polenta that I should use?I do have some but I made shortbread with it recently and it was REALLY crunchy.Nice, but crunchy! Isn't semolina flour just finely ground polenta? Help!Thanks in advance! @//*_*\\@"

"I've made these countless times and always double or triple the quantity BUT never double or triple the soda. It leaves an aftertaste and even if I just make one batch, I cut down on the soda from 1 teaspoon to about half a teaspoon. A little less syrup makes them less chewy. If you prefer the crispy and flatter, just flatten them with a spatula half-way through cooking. Finally, they are GORGEOUS-ER :) if drizzled with chocolate [milk or dark] after cooling a little! @//*_*\\@"
