Recipe Tips

•

When mixing the cornstarch with the milk, ensure you dissolve the cornstarch completely in a small amount of cold milk before adding it to the rest of the milk. This prevents lumps from forming in your porridge.

•

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the milk mixture before cooking, as it helps to enhance the sweetness of the sugar and the flavor of the lemon peel.

•

Avoid overcooking the porridge after adding the egg yolks. Once you incorporate them, cook the mixture on low heat and stir continuously for just a couple of minutes to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative?

Yes, you can use non-dairy milk such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk as a substitute for regular milk in this recipe. Just make sure to choose an unsweetened variety to control the sugar content.

How long can I store the cornstarch porridge in the refrigerator?

You can store the cornstarch porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.

What should I do if my porridge doesn't thicken?

If your porridge isn't thickening, ensure that you are stirring constantly and have brought the mixture to a gentle boil. If it still doesn’t thicken, you can try adding an additional tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a bit of milk to help thicken it further.

How could I cut this recipe? I'm the only one who will eat this in our home. I love it, but sadly no one else does.
