  • 3/4 cup Flour
  • 2 cups Milk

Directions

  1. Step 1: ▢

  3. Step 3: ▢
  4. Step 4: Turn down the heat and add half of the flour and stir well with a whisk. Once the flour is fully incorporated, let the mixture continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to release. Use a spoon to gather as much of the fat as you can in a small bowl, saving for later. (Don't worry if you can't get any fat – in that case you can add butter later.)

  6. Step 6: Whisk in the rest of the flour and then slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Let the porridge continue to cook on low heat for 5 minutes and then add salt.
