MEXICAN-STYLE ATOLE
Atole, a hot, corn-based drink popular in Central America, provides warmth and comfort when the chilly weather hits. This Mexican-style version, from Veronica Ruiz, a home cook who grew up in Mexico City and immigrated to the United States in the 1990s, is made with milk, cinnamon, piloncillo (pure cane sugar) and masa harina, a finely ground corn flour also used to make tamales and tortillas. You can find strawberry, coconut, chocolate and many other flavor variations of atole, but this one is rich and satisfying, and allows the corn flavor to shine.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups water with the piloncillo, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally until the piloncillo is fully dissolved.
- While the mixture comes to a boil, whisk together the milk and masa harina in a large measuring cup.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to medium. Add the milk mixture gradually, whisking continually to ensure the masa doesn't clump or sink to the bottom. Cook the atole, whisking constantly, until it is thick enough to evenly coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and discard cinnamon stick. Serve while hot, and dust with ground cinnamon as a garnish, if desired.

RICE ATOLE (MEXICAN RICE PUDDING/ARROZ CON LECHE)
My mom adapted this from several recipes she found, in an attempt to copy the arroz con leche that we had while I was studying in Merida, in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The bakery sold it in little plastic cups, at room temperature. This isn't a true 'pudding' since it doesn't have any eggs--but it sure is good! I haven't actually made this myself yet--just enjoyed it at mom's house! Warming the milk before adding to the rice helps to avoid longer cooking times. Simply warm the milk in the microwave or in another pan shortly before adding it to the rice. This dish can easily be halved if you don't need such a large amount (or doubled if you need more). This is a nice recipe to pour into individual serving dishes (custard cups or ramekins work well) while still warm. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon to garnish, cool, and eat cold or at room temperature.

- You can use any type of milk in this recipe, including dairy milk, almond milk, or soy milk.
- If you want a sweeter atole, add more sugar or honey to taste.
