[@NatashaMonti23]

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!

[@mariscookingpr]

Awe yay! The best way to break a fast! 🥰

[@thejohnnyreapergaming7328]

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.

[@mariscookingpr]

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad the recipe could connect you to those memories of her 😭🙏🏽

[@jonfrancis93]

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

[@eneidasilva9703]

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

[@janetadams4046]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

Awww yay!! I’m so glad!

[@MarilynOcasio-x2r]

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 🙏🏼🥰

[@mariscookingpr]

Awww I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥺

[@Lisyv1]

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!

[@mariscookingpr]

Awe yay! That’s awesome 🥰

[@rosemarygross9641]

It was so good!!!! My kids loved it. I ended up making this for dinner last night since I had some dental work done. & It was so good! Made farina for breakfast this morning just as good!

[@mariscookingpr]

I am so glad you all enjoyed it! 💕

[@sarahserrano2941]

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 😊

[@nadersfagina7241]

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

[@stephansantini726]

Mi abuelita is an un poco de limon tambien. Thanks for posting a memory of my childhood❤

[@mariscookingpr]

Awe 🥹 Was it a bit of lime zest??

[@stephansantini726]

@ no it was like a inch long 1/2 inch wide lemon peel. You always had to check to see if it was in your next spoonful. I miss her and New York. La sangre llamas!

[@mariscookingpr]

@ Awe! I’m going to try that! Thank you for sharing!

[@denir1096]

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

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

[@NativeNewYawka]

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

[@JanetRodriguez-x5b]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ChikisRozae]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

No bread! It’s in the same category as oatmeal. 😊

[@babydelillo]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

Love it! 😂❤️

[@Giannina-LoveThemAll]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

Hello! The ingredients are actually all in the description box! Feel free to multiply the ingredients as needed. 💕

[@jessiesoto8076]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

Hi! All of the ingredients are in the description box and you can easily triple it from there. 😊

[@jessiesoto8076]

@@mariscookingpr Thank you so much ☺️

[@GlamourBella]

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. 😂😊

[@mariscookingpr]

I love that! 😂

[@dahonmendoza2375]

How much maizena do you use in this recipe?

[@mariscookingpr]

Ingreidients are in the description box and video 🙂

[@wanda8977]

Deliciousness 🎉

[@mariscookingpr]

🥰

[@MiguelTeixeiraRosa]

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

[@chrisgarcia1095]

Thanks

[@mariscookingpr]

Of course!

[@bigrican4013]

👍🏼

[@alfredoribot9506]

Where is the maizena ingredient?

[@mariscookingpr]

Maizena is just cornstarch

[@NativeNewYawka]

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.

[@mariscookingpr]

Hi! Mine would probably be avena 🥰

[@profilename7977]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

@@profilename7977 Cool 😊

[@beatrixkiddo5]

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

[@m.gonzalez608]

Haz la receta en español.

[@mariscookingpr]

Mis recetas solamente son en Ingles para servir aquellos que no saben el idioma pero desean aprender las recetas. Sin embargo, hay muchos canales PR que son en Español. Simplemente hay que buscarlos. 🙏🏽

[@princessrachel4388]

Why only 1 serving. 😢

[@mariscookingpr]

@@princessrachel4388 …because I was making it for one person. 🤪 You can double, triple, etc the recipe to your desired serving size.

[@matthewnegron2936]

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

[@mariscookingpr]

Try whisking it constantly, especially in the beginning. It may help to sift the cornstarch.

[@nydiavelazquez8342]

The way I avoid clumps is by stirring and dissolving the cornstarch in the milk while it is still cold before cooking it on the stove. Other than that, the recipe is pretty much the same . I learned this tip long long time ago.

[@cyborgfuture_]

Don’t forget the egg yolk 😊

[@michellegonzalez3471]

Yes my mom used egg yolk…hers was the best
