Bouillie de mais (also called Paf or Koukourou corn porridge (or better corn pudding ?) is, as the name suggests, a porridge made from specially produced corn flour.
- 4 tbsp cornflour (specifically for porridge (from Afro shops))
- 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (to taste)
- a few drops of lemon juice
- 500 ml water
Cooking porridge:
Bring approximately 500 ml of water to a boil in a pot.
Slowly pour the prepared cornmeal mixture into the boiling water, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon to avoid lumps.
Let the porridge thicken:
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the porridge for about 5–7 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches a thick consistency. If the porridge is too thick, add a little more hot water.
Add lemon juice and sugar:
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and sugar. Taste and adjust the sweetness as desired.
Serve:
Enjoy the bouillie hot, traditionally with beignets or as a standalone snack.
Tip: For an extra creamy consistency, you can add a splash of coconut milk or condensed milk before serving. Enjoy!
