Ingredients

Spices & seasoning

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

Optional extras

30 g Slivered almonds

Instructions

Dry-toast the corn and wheat in a wide pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden and smelling of hazelnut, about 10 minutes.
Let cool, then grind the grains into a fine flour in a mill or blender.
Sift the flour to remove any overly large pieces, then return them to the blender if needed.
In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of flour with the warm water or milk, stirring until you have a smooth, soft paste.
Add the honey, cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then serve right away in bowls.
