Melissa's Corporate Chefs
7 ounces Masa Harina
1½ quarts Water
3 cups Milk
8 ounces Piloncillo (Brown Sugar Cones)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 stick (4 inches) Canela (Cinnamon Sticks)
Dissolve the masa harina in 1 quart of water, then strain the water into a saucepan (throw away the masa). Boil until it is thick, stirring with a wooden spoon, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, piloncillo, vanilla, and canela. Bring the liquid back to a simmer, stirring often to thicken. This will take about 45 minutes, keeping the heat at a minimum so the milk doesn’t curdle.
Remove the canela stick before serving.
