How Do You Make Atole?
Atole is a drink made with masa harina (ground maize). In Mexico it is the traditional accompaniment to tamales, but it can also be a filling winter breakfast-one you can enjoy in the car on the way to work. Put the masa harina and salt in a small saucepan and slowly whisk in the water, making sure to eliminate all lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Divide evenly between 4 tall, insulated mugs. Thin with the warmed milk and season to taste with honey.
