Canarian Frangollo

What is the Canary Island frangollo?

Canarian frangollo is one of the desserts that reflect the culture of taking advantage of Canarian gastronomy. It is based on a dessert where coarse corn flour is the star of a dessert that has served as food and dessert for many Canarian families.
Preparation Time

20 to 40 minutes

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 1 and a half liters of milk
  • Currants
  • 150 grams of ground almonds
  • 100 grams of sugar
  • 2 egg yolks (not mandatory)
  • 60 grams of butter
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 peel of a lemon
  • 250 gr. of coarse corn flour
  • Salt

How to prepare Canarian Frangollo

  1. Flavor all the milk in a saucepan with the lemon peel and cinnamon for 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix the coarse corn flour, sugar, ground almonds and a pinch of salt.
  3. We add the mixture to the scented milk and begin to cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking.
  4. Add the melted butter along with the egg yolks and raisins and continue cooking until it forms a thick, creamy mixture.
  5. We put it in individual containers and let it rest before adding honey or caramel, although our recommendation is to add the former.

With these steps we will have an excellent and delicious Frangollo, a dessert that if we look for a similar one in international recipes, we could call it Canarian porridge.
