Notes
*We live in the United Kingdom so getting Cornmeal is basically impossible, by the looks of things. The internet told me to get polenta, but I struggled to find that at any shops near us, so we ended up going with semolina. Semolina does not fry well, as it turns out, and doesn’t actually turn golden. The taste was still very good, but it wasn’t as good as I think cornmeal would have been, so I would recommend sticking with cornmeal if you can or trying out polenta.
