Notes
- Yellow cornmeal: I recommend finer ground cornmeal. Look for cornmeal that says that it's for baking.
- Kosher salt: If using table salt, use 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Unsalted butter: If using salted butter, omit the kosher salt.
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute.
- Green chiles: Feel free to use mild or hot green chiles depending on your tastes.
