Tips for the Best Maja Blanca
Mix the canned corn kernel liquid with the cornflour instead of water for a more flavourful maja blanca. Remember to gradually add the cornflour mixture while stirring to avoid any lumps. Also, constantly stir the mixture to prevent any burnt patches at the bottom of the pot. Feel free also to top the maja blanca with toasted flakes or latik!
