Krummelpap with Warm Milk & Cinnamon Sugar

Ingredients

• 1½ cups coarse maize meal
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 cup warm milk, for serving
• 2 tbsp sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp raisins, optional

Method

1. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a heavy pot, then take it off the heat and dump the maize meal in all at once without stirring. Cover and let it steam 10 minutes.
2. Return to the lowest heat and break the mass up with a fork, working it into loose crumbs rather than a paste. Keep raking — the texture is the entire dish.
3. Cover and steam 12–15 minutes more, forking it through twice, until the crumbs are tender with no chalky center. Add a tablespoon of water if it looks dusty.
4. Fork in the butter until it melts through and the crumbs glisten. Spoon into bowls, pour warm milk around the edge, and finish with cinnamon sugar and raisins.
