Creamy Corn Breakfast Porridge - Whole Grain Gourmet

What's this all about?

We love whole grains! We have found that we prefer their flavor. They are also far healthier than the refined foods which characterize the typical modern diet.

Switching to whole grains helps maintain a low glycemic diet. That means you will have more sustainable energy levels throughout the day, and probably fewer problems with weight control.

We created this website with one goal: to build an online community of like-minded people who either share our enthusiasm about whole grains or just want to learn more about them.

Creamy Corn Breakfast Porridge

This breakfast porridge is made with whole corn flour. Not cornstarch, corn flour. Knowing what we like in our oatmeal, I experimented until I came up with this. Two of our daughters love it. One says she doesn't like the texture. Children! *grin* This recipe is easily multiplied or divided. The only constant I maintain is half milk/half water. At times I use part buttermilk which gives the porridge a bit of a tang. We like it pretty thick. If you don't want it as thick, I suggest reducing the corn flour to 1 cup. I use fructose in the recipe, which is sweeter than granulated sugar. If using granulated sugar, increase measurement to 1/3-1/2 cup.

Creamy Corn Breakfast Porridge

Ingredients:

3 c. milk
3 c. water
1 1/2 c. yellow dent corn flour
1/4 c. fructose
raisins, as desired
chopped pecans, as desired

Preparation:

Combine milk and water in a large saucepan.
Stir in corn flour. At this point I stir in the raisins, because I like the way they plump when cooked with the corn flour. You can stir them in now, or when the porridge is cooked.
Stirring constantly, heat porridge to boiling. Continue stirring and cook about 5 minutes longer.
Stir in nuts, allow to cool slightly, and serve.

Just checking - I do have whole grain corn flour. You mean corn "flour" not corn "meal," right?

Thanks for frequently giving alternate ingredients - it's a big help too.
