Püf Noktaları

To achieve the perfect creamy texture, ensure you stir continuously while adding the water to your cornmeal mix. Adjust the cheese quantities to your preference for a cheesier or lighter dish. Use a combination of different cheeses for a unique flavor. Serve immediately after preparation as the texture is best when hot. Experiment with additional spices or herbs like red pepper flakes or oregano for added flavor.
