How to make cornmeal porridge
1

In a medium saucepan on medium heat (electric hub 3), add water, coconut milk. Let it come to a slight boil.

2

Pour in your Porridge and salt and stir continuously until smooth. Don't stop stirring! This will keep the cornmeal from lumping.

3

Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Keep stirring until it thickens.

When Porridge is smooth and thickened, add in your condensed milk (or milk alternative plus sugar) to your desired thickness. Remove your pot from the heat and serve immediately.

You can add fruit or any topping you wish, or just have it plain. It's that good!
