Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup polenta or 3/4 cup coarsely ground yellow cornmeal
2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup maple syrup, warmed
melted butter (optional)

Directions:

Over medium heat, in a large, heavy saucepan, combine 1 2/3 cups of the water and milk along with the sugar and salt; bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and when the liquid is barely simmering; whisk, in the same circular motion, polenta in a slow, steady stream until all the grains have been absorbed and the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Reduce heat to very low and with a wooden spoon stir thoroughly every 1 to 2 minutes or until the polentina is loose and creamy, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add additional water and milk as necessry; the mixture should be very liquid.
Ladle into individual bowls, top with the sliced bananas and drizzle with the warmed syrup.
Drizzle with melted butter if desired.
