    instructions should be on the box but I think it's 1 to 1 ratio. So 1/4 to 1/4

    The standard ratio of polenta to liquid is three parts liquid to one part polenta.

    if you want to use 1/4 of a cup of polenta, and the directions are for a whole cup, then just take the water for the one cup directions and divide it by four. Thats what I have to do for rice recipes sometimes.

    The ratio is 1:3 or 1:4 depending on how creamy you want it.
