🛒 Ingredients

1 servings

1
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons fine cornmeal
  • 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Ground cinnamon, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine milk, cornmeal, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Whisk constantly as the mixture heats to prevent any lumps from forming.

  3. 3

    Cook for 15 minutes, stirring continuously, until the porridge thickens to a creamy, spoonable consistency.

  4. 4

    Pour into a bowl, dust generously with ground cinnamon, and serve immediately.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a richer flavour, swap half the milk for coconut milk. A drizzle of honey instead of sugar adds a lovely floral sweetness.
