Ingredients
- 100 grams millet flour
- 500 milliliters water
- 200 milliliters milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the millet flour with 200 milliliters of water. Stir until you have a smooth, lump-free paste.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the remaining 300 milliliters of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually pour in the millet paste, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps.
Step 4
Continue cooking and stirring for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a smooth porridge consistency.
Step 5
Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6
Cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently to ensure the porridge does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar to your preference.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the bouillie cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Serve warm in bowls with your preferred toppings, such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
