Millet Porridge with Milk
A tender, creamy porridge made from well-rinsed millet cooked in milk and finished with butter.
Ingredients
- millet200 g
- water250 ml
- milk600 ml
- sugar1.5 tbsp
- salt0.25 tsp
- butter30 g
Instructions
Sort through the millet and rinse it in a sieve under running water until the water runs clear, then pour boiling water over it to remove any bitterness.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring water to a boil, add the millet, and cook over low heat for 8 minutes.
Add hot milk, salt, and sugar, stir, and bring back to a gentle simmer.
Cook the porridge over the lowest heat for 15–18 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally so the millet doesn't stick to the bottom.
Once the grains are soft and the porridge has thickened, add the butter and stir until smooth.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the porridge sit for 8–10 minutes, then serve hot.
