INGREDIENTS

1 large, deep pan
60 grams of clarified butter
120 grams of coarse polenta semolina
4 - 5 tablespoons of flour depending on the consistency
Cheese for example Emmental, mountain cheese or Tilsiter (also mixed)
1 liter of milk
300 ml water
Farm butter
salt
pepper
nutmeg

PREPARATION

1. For a classic roux, called “Einbrenn” in Tyrolean, let the butter melt. Add the flour and stir in evenly until the mixture turns golden brown and smells slightly nutty. Do not switch the hotplate too hot so that the roux does not burn.

2. Add polenta semolina. Roast everything briefly, do not let it burn.

3. Pour the mixture onto the milk and stir until smooth with a whisk. Let simmer until the Kasmus thickens, stir again and again. Then season with a pinch of salt, pepper and nutmeg.

4. Stir in half of the cheese and wait until a light crust has formed on the bottom of the pan.

5. Scatter the rest of the cheese on the Kasmus, spread a few cubes of butter in between for good taste. Close the pan lid and let it sit for 20 minutes without cooking before serving.
