How to make it
Beat the softened butter with the sugar with a wooden spoon for twenty minutes, to a pale fluffy mass.
Add the yolks one at a time, still beating in the same direction.
Add the vanilla, salt and soda and beat five minutes more.
Work in the cornmeal a little at a time, to a firm but pliable dough.
Rest the dough fifteen minutes so the meal takes up the moisture.
Shape walnut-sized balls and set them well apart on parchment.
Bake at 170 °C for twenty minutes, to a pale gold edge, and cool them on the tray.
