My grandmother would make this with flour. She then served it with added pancake, maple syrup or sugar on top. Delish.

My mom made something very similar but used wheat-hearts and would add a dash of almond flavouring. Still it’s a favourite especially if sick.

My grandmother used to toast the flour a bit in the oven sometimes before making this, and also added some cocoa powder with sugar. it was the best comfort food

My mom always made this using corn starch instead of flower. She is from San miguel!

In reply to Clara Medeiros. Yummy it’s like eating the rice pudding without the rice.

In reply to Clara Medeiros. That sounds delicious ? Its the same thing that I do when making rice pudding… I will definitely try that the next time I make it…

I love these papas the only thing different I do is boil the milk with a lemon ? peel and then remove it before adding the flour and sugar.

In reply to Priscilla Petruzzi. Funny, we had this same conversation with a relative who said it was made with corn starch. We always made it with the cream of wheat too!

Love the ones made with the corn flour the best! I let it cook for a few minutes as my Mom always said that you had to “cook the flour” lol. I actually made some last week and it was delicious …. Comfort food for sure
