Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams millet flour
- 500 milliliters water
- 200 milliliters milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the millet flour with 200 milliliters of water. Stir until you have a smooth, lump-free paste.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the remaining 300 milliliters of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually pour in the millet paste, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps.
Continue cooking and stirring for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a smooth porridge consistency.
Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently to ensure the porridge does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the bouillie cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm in bowls with your preferred toppings, such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
