Method

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal with 1 cup of milk to form a smooth paste.
Slowly pour the cornmeal mixture into the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens.
Add the remaining milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken further.
Serve hot, sprinkled with ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top, if desired.
Enjoy!
