Instructions
- Heat the milk with the salt and sugar in a heavy-based saucepan.
- When the milk starts to simmer, pour in the cornmeal in a steady stream while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Lower the heat and stir constantly for 10 to 15 minutes, until you have a thick porridge that pulls away from the sides.
- If using prunes, soak them in a little hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.
- Off the heat, stir in the butter in pieces and the cinnamon, then mix well.
- Serve hot, with the prunes and apple compote on the side.
Variations and tips
With cheese. Replace the sugar with 80 g of grated semi-hard cheese, stirred in at the end of cooking, like a polenta.
