Adding to my comment below, this recipe is a total FAIL and should be removed. After I tripled the amount of corn meal, it still took over 3 hours to cook. Though it does taste pretty good. It could have used more ginger.
I just put mine in the oven. It did seem very wet. Then (I should have done this 1st) I checked the recipe for polenta, which calls for a 1:4 ratio of corn to water.
It feels as if the milk corn meal ratio is off. 2 hours later still liquid
