ATOL DE ELOTE GUATEMALTECO

Steps:

• Peel and wash the ears of corn thoroughly and cut the kernels off. Put them and their juices aside. Throw away the cobs.
• Put the kernels and about 1 cup of water on a high-powered blender and blend until they are coarsely grounded. Add the rest of the water and keep blending until smooth.
• Pour the kernel mixture onto a large pot, add milk, cinnamon stick, sugar, and salt. Bring to a low boil on medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.
• Stir constantly to avoid the mixture sticking to the bottom.
• Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until it thickens. Serve the atol warm and in cups, garnishing with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and top with a handful of cooked corn kernels.

• Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Then reduce heat to medium low and simmer, still constantly stirring, until the mixture is slightly thickened (about 15 minutes).
• Serve hot.
