In a frying pan, heat two hundred and fifty grams of butter (creamy or deodorized sunflower oil) and pour half a kilogram of corn flour or small-grained corn groats (polenta). Stirring, distribute the oil throughout the volume. On a small fire, lightly fry the rump and make sure that it is slightly swollen. You can add pine nuts or crushed peanuts.
