Easy Peasy Melkkos
Recipe GLPRffeb6a3900d844
Melkkos is a traditional South African comfort dish—a creamy, milk-based pudding made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. Flour and butter create a simple roux that's cooked with milk until it thickens into a smooth, warm porridge, then topped with a sweet cinnamon sugar coating. Ready in minutes via microwave, it's an effortless treat that brings authentic African warmth to your table.

Ingredients
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cups milk
1 pinch of salt
1 to 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar, plus more for topping
Directions
Combine the flour, butter, milk, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high power for 8 minutes, stirring well every 2 minutes to prevent lumps and ensure the mixture cooks evenly.
Remove from the microwave and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar over the top and fold gently to distribute.
Let cool for a few minutes until warm enough to serve comfortably.
Divide between two bowls and top each serving with an additional pinch of cinnamon sugar before serving.
