Description

A delicious and creamy cornmeal porridge topped with brown sugar and milk.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups water (divided)
  • 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the cornmeal, one cup of water, and the salt.
  3. Slowly pour the cornmeal mixture into the boiling water, whisking constantly to avoid clumps.
  4. Bring it to a low boil then reduce the heat to low.
  5. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-8 minutes until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. This will depend on the type of cornmeal you used in the recipe; finer ground cornmeal will cook faster, and coarser cornmeal will take longer. Taste test to make sure the cornmeal isn’t crunchy still.
  6. Remove and place into serving bowls immediately; it starts to gel fast once it cools.
  7. Top with brown sugar and milk to serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat with additional water or milk to achieve desired consistency.
