3 ways with Sea salt flakes

1 Salted honey polenta cake

Blend the polenta in a high-powered blender for a few seconds before adding to the batter if you prefer your cake a little finer in texture. Sea salt adds richness and brings out the taste of the honey, so use a good-quality honey for this recipe as the flavour will really stand out.
