Personal Notes:
This is a good make ahead breakfast. It is a gluten free option and if you make it with soy milk it can be dairy free also (if you leave out the butter). Play with the amount of sugar in the recipe. I like it sweet. This recipe can also be used for savory fried polenta, just leave out the sugar and add cheese and chile peppers!
