Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare all the necessary products. Choose cereals from a reliable manufacturer - such cereals are clean, without foreign impurities, and most importantly, without larvae of grain midges. Therefore, do not chase cheapness, but focus on the appearance of cereals. Milk can be any percentage of fat content to your taste. In addition, in addition to regular milk of animal origin, vegetable milk can also be used. The amount of sugar and salt to your taste
Step 2:
Prepare a saucepan with a thick bottom - only in such a dish can you cook milk porridge. Even better, if you have a special double-bottomed pot for cooking porridge. Pour milk into a saucepan, add salt.
Step 3:
Then add sugar. If you prefer sweet porridges or maybe you cook for children, then it is quite possible to add vanilla sugar and cinnamon. Literally a pinch of each ingredient.
Step 4:
Bring the milk to a boil over low heat. Constantly stir the milk until it boils so that it does not burn.
Step 5:
Rinse the cereal well - until the water is clear. If necessary, remove debris and impurities. Corn groats are of two types: very small, which is used for making polenta, and larger, structural. To prepare this dish, you can take any version of cereals. I took a larger view. Pour the grits into the boiling milk.
Step 6:
Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, literally 5 minutes. Keep in mind that the porridge will thicken a lot. If you like a more liquid version of porridge, then initially add less cereals or add a little milk or water to the pan during cooking
Step 7:
You can add butter to the porridge, or you can not add it - everything is at your discretion. And, of course, milk porridges should be boiled immediately before their use and eaten hot. Enjoy your meal!
To prepare porridge with a more uniform texture, use finely ground grits. In this case, the porridge will turn out to be similar in consistency to semolina porridge. This option will appeal more to children.
If you take grits of a larger grind, then the texture of the porridge will resemble millet.
