Baked Cornstarch Porridge

4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cup Milk
• 1 pinch Salt
• Cornstarch (as needed)
• 1 tsp Butter
• Sugar and cinnamon or fruit sauce, jam, stewed fruit (for serving) (as needed)

Instructions

1. Cook the porridge as described above, but omit the sugar and instead add one teaspoon of butter.
2. Once the porridge is cooked, pour it into a shallow dish and place it in the oven, where it needs to brown slightly at moderate oven heat (at high heat it will become liquid).
3. Serve in the dish sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, or with fruit sauce, jam, or stewed fruit.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
