Prepare the Mixture

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt.

Gradually stir in the maize meal, mixing continuously to prevent lumps.

Cook the Mixture

Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the maize meal mixture for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes smooth.

Add Optional Ingredients

If using sugar, stir it into the mixture for added sweetness.

For a creamier texture, mix in the milk.

Finish the Dish

Stir in the vegetable oil or butter until fully incorporated and smooth.

Serve

Spoon the Pap-pap into bowls. It can be served hot as a side dish or a comforting main course.
