I was fasting all morning & saw you shared this. Couldn’t think of a better meal to eat. Took me 15 min to make - so Good & comforting. Took me back to my childhood ❤️ thank you!
All I have to say is thank you. My grandma passed last year and this was my emotional support dish since she made it for me all the time. This was the perfect recipe. Thank you so much.
Bendiciones! My granddaughter would love this! I’m too Puerto Rican, there are just certain foods that I’m clueless.. maizena, my titi used to make it. Thank you Mari for sharing your time with us. Now I can look up certain recipes that I remember growing up, that I just did not know how to make! Thank you again for the authentic Puerto Rican food! Weeepppaaaa!! Que viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! God Bless you
I remember my abuelita making this for me. I now care for my mom 24/7 I couldn’t remember all the ingredients just the sprinkle of canela. I referred to your video so I can make it for my querida madre. Warmed my ❤️, that when she saw her breakfast she said ahí mami (abuelita). Thank you for helping me bring back a beautiful memory for my querida madre DTB 🙏🏼🥰
I absolutely love this recepie. I haven't made it in awhile and found your channel and it was so easy so delicious and tastes like my grandma used to make it thank you 😊
The whisk is key for Maicena, I stirred with a wood spoon this morning but im not as skilled as my grandma was and about 10 lumps bumped my tastebuds... I love the corn starch add in, great consistency this morning
Gracias!!! I grew up eating this (obviously like a good PR), but unlike a good PR (lived away from PR for a few years lol)…. I looked at the packet y dijeeee: how am I supposed to make this!!? I’m going to make this tomorrow morning!
What is your favorite type of Puerto Rican CREMA?! mine is 1. Avena de Arroz (Goya) 2.) Avena de Maiz 3. Maicena (your version now) 4.Farina, but you really need to be on cutting edge here, no lumps for farina, thin but not watery not thick.
The way I avoid clumps is by stirring and dissolving the cornstarch in the milk while it is still cold before cooking it on the stove. Other than that, the recipe is pretty much the same . I learned this tip long long time ago.

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad the recipe could connect you to those memories of her 😭🙏🏽
This brought me right back to my childhood in PR when my abuela would make “Cremitas” for breakfast. Thank you for the nostalgia.
My father used to make this for us when I was growing up. I remember him always adding an egg also. 🤷🏼♀️
Bendiciones!

No bread! It’s in the same category as oatmeal. 😊
Im gonna try and make this for my dad, he used to love the one his dad made a ling time ago.
May he enjoy! 🙏🏽
My Godparents, who are from PR, made this for me every Friday! Thank you, now I will introduce my kids to it❤
Awe, I love this! 🥹
Could you make a video on doing this for a large group, please 😊🙏🏼💙 I'm not sure about the portions and ingredient amounts.
Hello! The ingredients are actually all in the description box! Feel free to multiply the ingredients as needed. 💕
Being Spanish my mom would make this for me and my sibling as kids. Now I make it for my husband. He isn't spanish and he loves it. 😂😊
I love that! 😂
Deliciousness 🎉
🥰
👍🏼
My mom made this for me as a kid . We’re portuguese
What if it's for 3 people? How much do I add for each ingredient?
Hi! All of the ingredients are in the description box and you can easily triple it from there. 😊
@@mariscookingpr Thank you so much ☺️
Thanks
Of course!
My mom used: 1 cup milk, 1 T cornstarch, 1 egg yolk & 1 T sugar.
@@profilename7977 Cool 😊
How much maizena do you use in this recipe?
Ingreidients are in the description box and video 🙂

Hi! Mine would probably be avena 🥰
Don’t forget the egg yolk 😊
I made this kinda lumpy but strained it. My 8yo saw me take 1 little taste and he ran away with it 😂
I always make it and think yes no clumps then I dig in and there’s 100 😭 clumps
Try whisking it constantly, especially in the beginning. It may help to sift the cornstarch.
