⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups maize meal (cornmeal)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Boil the Water

In a large pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil.

Add the salt to the boiling water.

Add the Maize Meal

Gradually add the maize meal to the boiling water, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.

Cook the Pap

Reduce the heat to low.

Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The pap should become thick and smooth.

If the pap becomes too thick, you can add a little more water to achieve the desired consistency.

Serve

Once the pap is cooked and has reached a smooth consistency, remove it from the heat.

Enjoy your meal!
