A different version of pap for breakfast is commonly known as slap pap in South Africa. This differs from braai pap in that it is smooth, creamy and has no lumps.
Ingredients:
2 Cups water
pinch of salt
1 Cup maize meal
Method:
Bring the water and salt to the boil. Place the maize meal ina measuring jug and add cold water in small quanties until you get a paste. Once the water is boiling, add the paste and stir continuously until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occassionally.
Serving is as per personal taste. In our house we have variations as follows:
Serve with Sugar and milk
Serve with Syrup and milk
Serve with honey snd milk
Serve with Sugat and butter
Serve with Syrup and butter
Serve with honey and butter
Any of the above serving is delicious!

Braai Pap
I have given 2 recipes for Braai Sous/tomato and onion sauce but neglected to give a recipe for pap. I have had requests for the method of making various types of pap so here you go, the first in this series of braai pap.
Ingredients:
3 cups water
pinch of salt
2 cups maize meal
Method:
Bring the water and salt to a boil. Once the water is boiling rapidly add the maize meal in dry powder form slowly stirring continuously. Take note that you will get lumps, but this supposed to happen. Stir continuously until the mixture boils again. Then lower heat to the lowest setting on the stove and and cover. Leave for 15 - 20 minutes. The bottom of the pot tends to burn, but this normal.
Serve with braai sous or with sugar and milk as a breakfast.

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.
