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
- In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornmeal, one cup of water, and the salt.
- Slowly pour the cornmeal mixture into the boiling water, whisking constantly to avoid clumps.
- Bring it to a low boil then reduce the heat to low.
- 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.
- Remove and place into serving bowls immediately; it starts to gel fast once it cools.
- 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.
