Maizena

6 min4 servings

This delicious, silky, vanilla-and-cinnamon-scented Puerto Rican breakfast pudding comes together in minutes and is ridiculously easy on your wallet.

Ingredients

4 cups whole milk ($0.97)

1/4 cup sugar ($0.06)

1/2 tsp cinnamon, plus more for serving ($0.04)

1 pinch nutmeg ($0.01)

1 pinch salt ($0.01)

1/2 tsp vanilla ($0.29)

1/4 cup cornstarch ($0.12)

1 cup heavy cream ($1.37)

Instructions

1 Place a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla. Mix to incorporate.

2 Add the cream to a bowl and mix in the cornstarch until no lumps remain.

3 Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the milk mixture little by little.

4 Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to whisk until the milk is pudding consistency and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes.

5 Serve hot with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top.
