Ingredients
- 200 g Cornmeal (fine)
- 300 ml Water
- ½ tsp Salt

- Spread hot cornmeal mixture thinly (≈3–4 mm) on parchment-lined baking sheets → smooth with wet spatula or offset knife.
- Bake at 150 °C (300 °F) 20–30 minutes until dry and firm → flip sheets halfway if needed.
- Remove from oven → cool completely → break into large pieces → bake again at 120 °C (250 °F) 30–60 minutes until crisp and golden (flip pieces halfway).
- Cool fully → break into small flakes by hand or gently crush.
- Store in airtight container up to 1 month — homemade crunchy corn flakes for cereal or snacking.
