Puerto Rican Maicena (Maizena) | Sweet & Creamy Breakfast 

I was fasting all morning & saw you shared this. Couldn’t think of a better meal to eat. Took me 15 min to make - so Good & comforting. Took me back to my childhood ❤️ thank you!

All I have to say is thank you. My grandma passed last year and this was my emotional support dish since she made it for me all the time. This was the perfect recipe. Thank you so much.

This brought me right back to my childhood in PR when my abuela would make “Cremitas” for breakfast. Thank you for the nostalgia.

My father used to make this for us when I was growing up. I remember him always adding an egg also. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Second time trying to make the maicena. With your recipe it turned out delicious

Awe, hi to your special little helper 🥰

I remember my abuelita making this for me. I now care for my mom 24/7 I couldn’t remember all the ingredients just the sprinkle of canela. I referred to your video so I can make it for my querida madre. Warmed my ❤️, that when she saw her breakfast she said ahí mami (abuelita). Thank you for helping me bring back a beautiful memory for my querida madre DTB 🙏🏼🥰

Bendiciones! My granddaughter would love this! I’m too Puerto Rican, there are just certain foods that I’m clueless.. maizena, my titi used to make it. Thank you Mari for sharing your time with us. Now I can look up certain recipes that I remember growing up, that I just did not know how to make! Thank you again for the authentic Puerto Rican food! Weeepppaaaa!! Que viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷! God Bless you

Had this for the first time yesterday from a local PR bakery and my life has been changed 😅 thank you for sharing!

Gracias por la receta. Se la voy a hacer a mi esposa ahora mismo 😊

I just made it! OMG, sooo good! My mom used to make this for me and, of course, I never learned how to make it until I saw your video. Thank you!

OMG!! I've been looking for this recipe for ages! Thanks sooo much for sharing.

My family is from Honduras 🇭🇳 so I grew up on this. ❤

I absolutely love this recepie. I haven't made it in awhile and found your channel and it was so easy so delicious and tastes like my grandma used to make it thank you 😊

I will try this one. I tried your Arina de maiz and it was delisj.

I made it and it was delicious, Thank you 😊 🌹🍀

Gracias!!! I grew up eating this (obviously like a good PR), but unlike a good PR (lived away from PR for a few years lol)…. I looked at the packet y dijeeee: how am I supposed to make this!!? I’m going to make this tomorrow morning!

I love your recipes they are easy to follow and tasty.

After watching this video I went and made the maizena and it was delicious!

The whisk is key for Maicena, I stirred with a wood spoon this morning but im not as skilled as my grandma was and about 10 lumps bumped my tastebuds... I love the corn starch add in, great consistency this morning

Omg just like my mama used to do exactly thanks so much

thank you so much i was really craving it but i didt know how to make it

Maizena is also Portuguese, I grew up on it, thanks for the recipe ❤

My Godparents, who are from PR, made this for me every Friday! Thank you, now I will introduce my kids to it❤

Very delicious just made it now at 12am lol❤❤

Im gonna try and make this for my dad, he used to love the one his dad made a ling time ago.

Thank you Mari! I keep forgetting the measurements and i make too much 🤣 but this is perfect! Gracias ❤

Love how smooth it looks!🤤And the dish is beautiful 😍

Ian ABSOLUTELY going to try this yummy breakfast. Thank you for sharing ❤

Mariiiii q Rico. A mi chiquita le encanta. 😊 y siempre se me olvidan los measurements 😅 valentina is 8 now and the maizena is her favorite 😍

Never made this but am excited to try ! Do you eat it with bread ? I think I’ll make some cinnamon sticks with it

Could you make a video on doing this for a large group, please 😊🙏🏼💙 I'm not sure about the portions and ingredient amounts.

Deliciousness 🎉

Being Spanish my mom would make this for me and my sibling as kids. Now I make it for my husband. He isn't spanish and he loves it. 😂😊

My mom made this for me as a kid . We’re portuguese

What if it's for 3 people? How much do I add for each ingredient?

Don’t forget the egg yolk 😊

👍🏼

Thanks

How much maizena do you use in this recipe?

I made this kinda lumpy but strained it. My 8yo saw me take 1 little taste and he ran away with it 😂

My mom used: 1 cup milk, 1 T cornstarch, 1 egg yolk & 1 T sugar.

I always make it and think yes no clumps then I dig in and there’s 100 😭 clumps

What is your favorite type of Puerto Rican CREMA?! mine is 1. Avena de Arroz (Goya) 2.) Avena de Maiz 3. Maicena (your version now) 4.Farina, but you really need to be on cutting edge here, no lumps for farina, thin but not watery not thick.
