Sweet corn porridge with milk. Corn porridge with milk. Ingredients and preparation

Good day everyone. Today for breakfast we had corn porridge with milk.

To be honest, I had never cooked porridge before, and I didn’t really like to eat it, but with the birth of a child I was faced with a choice: buy baby porridge in the store, or cook it myself. Having bought a pack of two hundred gram porridge (about 500 rubles/kg, when the cost of cereal is 30 rubles/kg) in the store and seeing that my child didn’t really want to eat it, I realized that this was an unnecessary expense. You can perfectly grind cereal or ready-made cereal porridge in a blender and get no worse results. At the same time, I know exactly what I put there. And to be honest, the child devoured my porridge with great pleasure.
