Cornmeal — Frequently Asked Questions
122 grams of medium-grind cornmeal is exactly 1 US cup. Coarse-grind cornmeal or polenta will be slightly heavier at 130–160g per cup.
No. Cornmeal is coarsely ground dried corn — it has a gritty texture. Corn flour (US) is very finely ground corn. Cornstarch (cornflour in UK) is a fine white starch extracted from corn and has completely different properties. These three cannot substitute for each other.
Yes. Cornmeal gives a crunchier, slightly coarser coating than breadcrumbs. Use medium or coarse-grind cornmeal for the best texture. Season it the same way as you would breadcrumbs.
Polenta is the Italian dish made from coarsely ground corn (often labelled "polenta" on packaging). The main difference is grind size: polenta-cut corn is coarser than standard cornmeal. In practice, any coarse-grind cornmeal can be used to make polenta.
Yes. Self-rising cornmeal already contains baking powder and salt, but the ground corn itself weighs the same: approximately 122g per cup. Adjust your recipe accordingly if substituting.
Gummy cornbread is usually caused by too much liquid or undermixing, which prevents proper gluten and starch structure from forming. Also ensure your baking powder is fresh — cornbread relies heavily on chemical leavening.
