Ingredients
- 1 kg of green maize
- 1 l of water
- 500 g of sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1 stick of cinnamon
Directions
Crush the maize with a mortar and pestle, then boil in water for a short while.
Extract the water using a fine mesh sieve, and to this water, add the sugar and the cinnamon and heat until the mixture reaches a consistency in which it forms drops ‘like a pearl’ when poured from height.
Leave to cool down.
Once cooled down, place on a low heat and mix in the eggs (which have been previously beaten) and cook until ready, stirring continuously.
