Small Trick

  If you have a recipe that calls for cornmeal but you lack supply, and you need it in a pinch. Easy trick:

                           

      USE GRITS !!!

 Use the same amount of grits that you would use for cornmeal in any recipe. The reason why this works is that grits is food that is made from corn which is grounded into coarse meal A.K.A Cornmeal. Either fine or coarse grounded grits make a difference in the texture of the food. 

  When using Finely grounded grits, you can get a smoother texture the more liquid you add to it. As for Coarse grounded grits, you have to add more liquid per  1/2 cup. 

  Let me explain if the recipes call for 1 cup of cornmeal = grits and 2 cups of milk or water. You want to use 2 1/2 cups instead. The reason why is that grits in super absorbent when coarsely ground, so you always to add a little bit at the time. If you do not, the texture will be crumbly and dry and coarse.
