Step 2
Pour water into a saucepan or cauldron, add salt, and bring to a boil. Optionally, you can add cornmeal to cold water and then heat the mixture on the stove until it thickens, but in this case, you need to let the porridge steam, covered, for about 10–15 minutes! When the water boils, add the cornmeal and immediately whisk the contents with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 3
Reduce the heat to the minimum and stir the porridge for about 2-3 minutes, until it becomes thick enough. By the way, if you reduce the amount of water, you can get polenta instead of a liquid porridge. At this stage, you can add clarified butter to the porridge, or you can add it directly to the bowl—your choice.
