SWEET POTATO PORRIDGE

INGREDIENTS:
2 CUPS WATER
1 CUP SWEET POTATO FLOUR
½-1 CUP COCONUT MILK
¼ CUP HONEY OR BROWN SUGAR
2 CINNAMON STICKS
¼ TSP. CINNAMON POWDER
¼ TSP. GINGER POWDER *Optional
1 TBS. REAL BUTTER (NOT MARGARINE)


PROCESS:
In a cooking pot add 1 cup of water, ¼ cup honey or brown sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, stir together and heat until liquid comes to a boil. In a small mixing bowl add 1 cup of water to 1cup of sweet potato flour, stir until flour and water become thick liquid without lumps. Add the ¼ tsp. of cinnamon powder, ¼ tsp. of ginger powder *optional, to the liquefied potato flour. Once you’ve stirred all these ingredients together, and there are no lumps; slowly add everything to the boiling water. Stir with a wooden spoon, lowering heat as the liquid thickens. Let simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. As the porridge thickens you can add ½ to 1 cup of coconut milk, stirring until all blended in mixture. Let simmer another 5 minutes, add ½ tbs. butter. Remove from heat, serve in a bowl with a pat of butter.
You can also add fresh fruits like banana or fresh berries as a side to porridge.

Sweet Potato Porridge is best served hot for breakfast. However, it becomes a tasty desert when chilled.
