Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a deep baking dish with butter.
  2. Combine chicken broth, milk, salt, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly stir in the cornmeal and reduce heat. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
