- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup harina de maiz (corn meal flour)
- optional garnish: cinnamon, butter, honey
Instructions
- Combine base ingredients. In a medium sized saucepan combine the milk, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whisk together before turning the heat on to medium. Continue to whisk to melt the butter.
- Whisk in the harina de maiz (cornmeal). Once the butter has melted into the milk mixture, add the harina de maiz. Continue to mix everything together, watching as the corn meal thickens. Once it thickens to your preferred texture, remove from the heat and serve! Garnish as desired with cinnamon, butter, and/or honey.
Notes
- You can use a dairy free milk and/or butter if desired.
- If the porridge thickens too quickly, you can always thin it out by adding a splash or two of milk.
