How to Make Cornmeal Cereal

Would you guess that the cornmeal gathering dust in the back of your cupboard can be made into a quick, tasty hot cereal? It's warming and satisfying! Serves one, but you can easily multiply it for as many people as you like.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/4 c. milk (or half milk, half water)
• honey
• 1/2 c. cornmeal
• maple syrups
• brown sugars
• Brown Sugars
• Honey
• Maple Syrups
• 1/2 c. cornmeal
• 1 1/4 c. milk (or half milk, half water)

1. Place milk (or a mixture of half milk and half water) in a small saucepan and whisk in cornmeal. Turn the flame on to medium and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.

2. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cereal is thickened.

3. Serve with brown sugar, honey or maple syrup.

Tips & Warnings

• The cereal will continue to thicken after you take it off the heat, so you might want to remove it when it's still a little thinner than you'd like.
• Milk burns easily, so keep the heat moderate and stir the mixture occasionally as it cooks. It's less likely to burn if you use a mixture of half milk and half water.
• Try adding a teaspoon or two of vanilla to the cereal before you turn off the heat.
• If you want raisins or other fruit in your hot cereal, try oatmeal instead. Fruit doesn't mix as well with this.
