Papas is a true comfort food! It can be made with corn starch, wheat flour as well as corn flour. Traditionally, it all depended on what was available at the time. When made with flour, we would call it Papa Grosso/ Thick Porridge. My grandmother would sometimes add a tablespoon of chocolate powder in mine, as well as sometimes a beaten egg into the mixture, so I always thought I was eating pudding!
PS… My favorite was scraping the pan after she made it… such wonderful memories..
