Instructions
- Soak the raisins in a little lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then drain them.
- Mix the cornmeal with 200 ml of cold milk to avoid lumps.
- Heat the rest of the milk with the cinnamon, sugar and salt until it just starts to simmer.
- Pour the cornmeal mixture into the hot milk while whisking, then let it thicken over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring.
- Remove the cinnamon, stir in the raisins and butter, then pour into a mould.
- Let it cool, then keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before unmoulding.
