INGREDIENTS:

250 mL corn meal (yellow or white)
375 mL all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp salt
125 mL sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
125 mL butter or margarine
2 eggs, beaten
1tsp lemon rind

DIRECTIONS:

Pre-heat oven to 350 F.

Sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 20 minutes making sure to take it out every once in while to mix it so that it roasts evenly.

In a mixing bowl, add in cornmeal that has been roasted, flour, salt, sugar, nutmeg; blend in the margarine and mix well. Add in eggs and lemon rind and continue to mix.

Increase oven heat to 375F and drop the dough by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet.

Bake in the oven for 15 mins or until golden brown.
