Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F/176C. Line a 10”x 15” baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl combine 3/4 cup cornmeal, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.
  3. Add water and stir well. The mixture should resemble a pancake batter. If it’s too thick, add more water.
  4. Spread batter as thinly as possible onto prepared baking sheet. It should pool slightly with milky liquid around the edges (the thinner the better).
  5. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of cornmeal with enough water to resemble wet sand (1-2 tablespoons). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the batter looks dry and the surface is cracked. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 275/135C. While oven temperature reduces, allow batter to cool enough to handle. Peel from the parchment paper and tear into little flakes, spreading them evenly back onto the baking sheet. Bake another 35-40 minutes, stirring once or twice, until flakes are fully crisp and slightly golden. Remove from oven to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Recipe Notes

This recipe for homemade corn flakes yields enough for 2 small bowls. You can easily double, triple or quadruple the amount, but be sure to rotate the pans during baking to prevent uneven cooking.
