    I didn't change a thing!

    I got this recipe at a gourmet cheese shop printed on their recipe cards, not from Gourmet at all.!!

    It's well known that Buttermilk and cornmeal compliment each other very well in any recipe.

    You'll have to try this and decide which you personally like better.

    Buttermilk in my opinion just adds that special tang

    I have this recipe in the restaurant issue of Bon Appetit this year but it lists milk instead of buttermilk. Is there a reason you changed that? Just curious because if it's better that way, I'd like to make them :-)
