    Glad you liked them! Sorry I should have phrased it a bit better, I didn't mean roll out with a rolling pin, I meant just scoop out little walnut-sized balls with your hands or a spoon or whatever. Trying to roll that sticky mess out would be a bit of a nightmare :D I'll have to try it with semolina and see if there's much difference.

    Oh no, I didn't think you meant with a rolling pin:D Just meant I couldn't roll them in my hands lol - the spoons worked fine anyway.
    I don't like polenta so wouldn't ever have any. The semolina's in a Greek orange cake recipe that we have fairly often, so must remember to replace it now (with some that's not out of date!).

    Hi Burp - if I'm honest I have no idea 'cos I've never made them before ashamed0005.gif

    I found the recipe at the start of the grocery challenge and had all the ingredients in so thought I'd give them a go. If you cant find the recipe give me a shout and I'll post it for you happy0105.gif

    I'm making a cheese and onion quiche for dinner (parmesan, smoked cheddar and caramelised red onions with a bit of thyme, mainly because that's all stuff I want to use up).

    Also made a tea bread this morning as an experiment and I may or may not have eaten four slices of it toasted...
