1. Boil water and add salt. Let the corn flour trickle in. Reduce the heat and let the porridge simmer a little, then stir. Then reduce the heat and let sit for 30 minutes with the lid closed. Stir occasionally. At the end the pap should have a firm to crumbly consistency, so that you can eat it easily with your fingers.
