African Corn Meal Biscuits Preparation:Method:Add 2 tbsp water to the corn meal (polenta) then sift the flour, salt and sugar together and stir into the cornmeal.

Add the nutmeg to this and pour into the flour mixture. Stir to incorporate completely and form into a ball. Tip this onto a floured surface and roll to about 6mm thick. Cut into 8cm rounds and brush the tops with the reserved egg whites. Place on a greased baking tray and place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C.
