Method
 

  1. In a medium Dutch oven, bring broth, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to a boil over high heat. Slowly whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, whisking occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes.

Kitchen Tip: It is very important to slowly whisk in the polenta to prevent lumps.
