Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cornmeal, flour, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed. Add the eggs to the dry ingredients. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the room temperature milk and melted butter until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Lightly grease a griddle or large skillet with butter or cooking spray. Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface. Drop tablespoonfuls of the cornmeal batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each broa. Cook for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Transfer the cooked broas to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve at room temperature and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, brown the butter before melting it.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your desired sweetness level.
Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of flavor.
Broas are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
