Mexican Corn Porridge or Atole de Elote

I watched YT Beryl Shereshewsky again. This time all things made from fresh corn on the cobb.



Our season for fresh corn on the cobb is very short here. About 4 to 6 weeks. The day after the video I went for the corn and the other needed ingredients for 2 more recipes. That was no fun. Corn on the cobb, done. But running through 3 different supermarkets, one of them Organic, I came out without the ingredient I was looking for. TAPIOKA pearls.

Today I went to a 4th supermarket and bought an alternative: SAGO pearls. Tapioka is from the maniok root, sago comes from a palmtree.



But this recipe was easy to make and no weird ingredients needed.

Recipe for 1:

1 fresh corn on the cobb

150 ml water, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 150 ml milk, 1 tsp corn starch



Cook the corn on the cobb for 10 min. Let it cool in cold water a bit to handle it. Cut off the kernels.



Use a blender and put them in with the milk.

In the same pot heat up the water with sugar and cinnamon. Pour the mix in and bring to a boil.

Make a starch slurry and bind the porridge to the consitency you like. Add some whole corn pieces.
