Instructions

  1. Mix the maize flour into 200 ml of cold milk to avoid lumps.
  2. Heat the rest of the milk with the sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Pour the mixture into the hot milk while whisking, then cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring until thickened.
  4. Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon if you like.

Variations and tips
