Instructions
For Cornmeal Porridge
- In a small bowl, add the yellow cornmeal and water and mix together with a whisk. Set aside.
- Pour the 3 cups of water and milk into a medium pot with the salt and allow to boil up.
- Slowly pour the yellow cornmeal mixture to the boiling liquid and continue to stir vigorously with a whisk on medium low heat, to prevent lumps. Cover and allow to cook for the next 30 minutes on low heat. Be sure to stir every 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract and stir.
- Open the can of sweetened condensed milk and sweeten the porridge to your taste. Make sure to check the consistency. If it is too thick, you can add about 1/2 cup of water or milk to the porridge.
For the Burnt Honey Butter
- Heat the honey in a small pan over a medium-high heat. Let it bubble until it turns to a deep gold, then remove and cool slightly.

- Scrape into a serving bowl and chill. Can be made a day ahead.
