Pap/Mielie Meal

There are many ways to make this old South African favourite. You can have it for breakfast with milk and sugar or with a tomato onion mix with your braai. The thickness is the only thing that changes. Runny for breakfast, thick with a barbeque or “krummel” (crumbly) if you prefer.


Ingredients:

White maize meal
Water
Salt

Method:

Bring water with a pinch of salt to boil on the stove. In a measuring jug mix 250g maize meal with cold water to make a paste. (add slowly while stirring). Add the paste 1 spoonful at a time to the boiling water stirring continuously until you get the required consistency. For breakfast it should be thick but not stiff. To use with a tomato/onion sauce it should be thick enough to pick up in solid pieces. Cook for 20 minutes on a very low heat.

Serve as desired.
