CORNMEAL HOT "CEREAL "(FUNCHE)



Cornmeal Hot

I ate this as a treat with my best friend After School. It is called Funche, a Puerto Rican polenta mush. It is Sooo Good,it's warm,creamy and a bit sweet.I Use Harina de maiz mas fina(A very fine cornmeal, Goya makes it)) so its smooth not grainy.I have been searching for quite sometime but in wrong places, not thinking it was like mush but sweet :o(. I found a similar version of this on elboriqua.com.I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I also add sugar with the cornmeal so it dissolves, but that is a personal taste as to the amount of sweetness.

  • Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Try adding fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or yogurt to your hot cereal. You can also drizzle it with maple syrup or honey for a sweeter flavor.
