Does anyone out there know how to make Champurado?Lets see how many know what it is.
Super simple
Put 1/2 cup of masa (para tortillas) in a saucepan along with 2/3 cup of water and stir to combine. Place over low heat and cook stirring constantly
until it thickens (5 mins. +/-). Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups of milk and continue cooking unti it bubbles. Add 1 tablet (1
1/2 oz) drinking chocolate (i.e. Mexican chocolate) to the pot along with a 3" stick of canela and 3 Tbls. brown sugar. Continue cooking over low heat
until everything dissolves and the mixture thickens again, about 15 minutes.
You can make it with all water or all milk, you can add more chocolate if you want a more intense chocolate flavor, you can use more or less brown
sugar depending upon how sweet you want it.durrelllrobert - 12-21-2011 at 10:27 AM
Ingredients
1/4 cup masa harina
3 1/2 cups cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups of milk
1 (3-ounce) tablet sweetened Mexican chocolate, flavored with cinnamon
Directions
In a small mixing bowl combine the masa harina with 1/2 cup of water mixing by hand to form a paste. In medium saucepan add the paste and the
remaining 3 cups of water. Bring to boil stirring constantly. Cook slowly for 20 minutes, the mixture will thicken. While this mixture is simmering,
in another saucepan add the milk and bring to a boil. Add the chocolate and cook for about 10 minutes until the chocolate has completely dissolved.
Pour the chocolate into the masa harina mixture stirring until well incorporated. With a milinillo or an eggbeater, whisk until a foam forms on top,
about 3 minutes. Serve in a large bowl spooning some of the foam on top.DENNIS - 12-21-2011 at 10:54 AM

Never trust a cooking site that can't spell the names of the tools correctly.

I was taught to make it in a double boiler using an egg as a thickener. Almost like making pudding.
