Traditional Atole de Masa Recipe
Ingredients:
1 Cup of Masa
2 ½ Cups of Water
2 Cinnamon Sticks
2 ½ Cups of Milk
1 Cup of Sugar
Directions:
First, mix the masa and the water in a bowl and stir until the masa is completely dissolved. Use a sieve to strain the mixture and remove any clumps that may be remaining. Transfer to a pot and warm over medium heat. Add the two cinnamon sticks. Stir constantly to keep any lumps from forming. Once it starts to thicken, remove it from heat and put aside.
In another small pot, heat the milk until bubbles just barely start to break the surface. Pour this milk into the masa mixture and stir until well combined. Add in the sugar and return the Atole to heat. Keep stirring constantly until the Atole thickens.
Serve and enjoy!
