Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml / 250g) bula powder
- 4 cups (960 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 24g) sugar (or honey)
- ½ cup (120 ml / 113g) Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian clarified butter)
Instructions
- In a medium pot, whisk the bula powder into the milk until it forms a smooth mixture.
- Place the pot over low heat and stir in the sugar. Cook the mixture until it reaches a thickness similar to that of a smoothie, stirring occasionally to prevent lumps from forming.
- Once the porridge has thickened, stir in the kibe (clarified butter). Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for an additional 5 minutes to warm through and allow the flavors to combine.
- Once the bula porridge is heated through and the flavors are well incorporated, remove the pot from the heat.
- Serve the Ethiopian bula porridge immediately, either on its own or with additional toppings if desired.
