Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the cassava flour with 150 ml of cold water to a smooth paste, without lumps.
  2. Heat the rest of the water with the sugar and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
  3. Pour the flour paste into the hot water while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps.
  4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the porridge thickens and turns translucent.
  5. Stir in the cinnamon and milk if using, and mix for 1 more minute.
  6. Serve lukewarm in bowls, sprinkled with a little cinnamon if you like.
