Creamy hot polenta is a delicious alternative to standard breakfast cereals. The infused honey can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator. Serve it over hot cereals, pancakes, French Toast or cornbread.

fresh figs, berries, bananas, stewed fruits, or nuts (optional)
mascarpone cheese, crème fraiche, crema, or heavy cream (optional)

Instructions
Bring milk to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to low; whisk occasionally until creamy (about 2 minutes). Stir in butter and more milk, if desired. Serve hot with infused honey and other optional toppings.
