Ingrédients
  

  • 1 litre full cream milk
  • ¼ cup cake flour
  • ¼ cup maize meal (mieliepap or maize porridge)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
  • Ground cinnamon for serving
  • 2 tbsp butter (optional, for richness)

Instructions
 

  • In a pot, heat the milk over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • In a bowl, mix the cake flour and maize meal with a bit of cold water to make a smooth slurry.
  • Slowly pour the flour mixture into the simmering milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  • Add the salt and sugar, and keep stirring until the mixture thickens. This can take around 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once thick and creamy, remove the cinnamon stick and stir in a small knob of butter if desired.
  • Serve warm in bowls, sprinkled with ground cinnamon and a bit of extra sugar if you like.
