Soy Milk Pap with Honey
Smooth cornmeal pap cooked in soy milk and finished with honey makes a comforting, dairy-free porridge.
Pap is a familiar breakfast in many households — cornmeal cooked down into a smooth, spoonable porridge — and this version swaps the usual water or dairy for unsweetened soy milk, which thickens the pot into something a little richer. Pap is traditionally eaten thin enough to sip, so add a splash more soy milk toward the end if you'd like a looser consistency.
Because soy milk replaces dairy entirely, this bowl works well for anyone avoiding lactose while keeping the same soft, familiar texture. A little honey and a pinch of salt at the end balance the mild corn flavor without needing much else.
Stir it well before serving, since pap can thicken as it sits, and eat it warm.
