Ingredients
- 4 cups milk (1 liter) your favorite kind
- 4 tablespoons maizena (corn starch)
- 2 cinnamon sticks broken up a little bit
- 3 tbsp sugar (or more to taste)
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a cup or bowl combine ½ cup milk and 4 tablespoons maizena. Using a fork or a whisk, mix well until all the lumps have disappeared.
- In a medium saucepan add the rest of the milk and the cinnamon sticks. Heat milk over medium heat.
- Once the milk is warm, add the maizena mixture and mix everything together with a cooking spoon or a whisk. Add the sugar and vanilla and keep stirring to avoid the milk to sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Important! Stir often to avoid the milk to sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Increase heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Serve while hot and sprinkle cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream (optional).

Notes
- Pour into airtight glass jars, and store in the fridge for 3-5 days. It may separate, but that’s fine if it does, as it will recombine when you reheat it.
- Stovetop – Reheat in a saucepan over low heat until warm, stirring frequently.
- Slow Cooker – When serving at a party, we love to keep Atole warm in a slow cooker on the low heat setting.
