Pinole

Directions

1. 1
   Rinse the corn kernels under cold water and drain.
2. 2
   Dry completely with a towel, and then toast in a skillet or comal over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they have changed color and smell a bit nutty but not burned.
3. 3
   Once they are cool, grind in a food processor together with the canela and piloncillo (you can also leave out the sweetener and add it later when you make the drink).
4. 4
   Store in an airtight container in a dry, cool area and simply mix with water or milk when desired, using 4 to 6 tablespoons of pinole per 1 cup liquid.
5. 5
   Ponteduro is the name of a sweet, crumbly candy made from pinole and honey and cut into squares.
