Again, maizena is only a reference to the corn flour/starch, not to the breakfast dish. At least this is how I was taught in my youth. <br /><br /><br />other examples of maizena product brands used to make a wide variety of treats & meals:<br /><br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/pmw8bfgTripplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568801152695491482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-66648251220434283832015-07-23T13:12:05.417-06:002015-07-23T13:12:05.417-06:00I am also Puerto Rican (born in Mayaguez) where th...I am also Puerto Rican (born in Mayaguez) where the word "maíz" originated - it is the word for maize or corn.<br /><br />We did not use the word Maizena for this dish as maizena is the corn starch used in the making of what we call " crema ". I would add <b>lemon</b> or <b>orange</b> zest along with some juice from either fruit with a tab or two of <b>butter</b> plus <b>coco cream</b> to give it a superb flavor. If you use coco cream you will not need to add sugar.<br /><br />In Puerto Rican dishes you generally do not measure how much ingredients you add to the dish. Instead, you do so "al gusto" which means "to taste". Thus, add as much sweetener, cream, or whatever as you see fit. <br /><br /><br />Whenever I make muffins, pies, cakes, pancakes, or any form of dessert, my favorite addition is sweetened coco cream - nothing adds as much flavor as this wonderful ingredient does.<br /><br /><br />Enjoy!Tripplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568801152695491482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-51289669775127239782013-07-19T06:13:31.657-06:002013-07-19T06:13:31.657-06:00Thank you for this recipes bring me back to my chi...Thank you for this recipes bring me back to my childhoodJackie Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713701807621531524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-25351221019941567902012-04-09T19:45:39.305-06:002012-04-09T19:45:39.305-06:00Im puertorican i have this all the time its soooo ...Im puertorican i have this all the time its soooo good but my family call it cremaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149379609000112194.post-78596700512885337512008-11-18T06:56:00.000-07:002008-11-18T06:56:00.000-07:00This is really yummy!
