CREATIVE SUNDAY-- PAP MAKING ( DIY)

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed your Sunday?

For today's creative Sunday, I like to show you how I made pap myself.

I have always seen people produce it, the last time I made it was some ten years ago when my second child was little and feeding on it.

Four days ago, I bought guinea corn. Pap can be made with other grains such as millet, corn, etc. But I chose to make it with guinea corn.

So I had removed the chaff, washed and soaked the guinea corn.

Today, I bought it out after service, decanted the water away and washed the grains again to avoid smell.

Then I took it to the engine to grind. Thank God the engine woman was available.

Then I brought it home to filter.

I filled a rubber with water and got another rubber with a filter bottom. Then I scooped some of the paste into the rubber and filtered it.

I pressed out the pap from the filterate while the residue settled in the water at the bottom of the big rubber.

I kept scooping until the last paste was scooped.

I allowed the residue to settle well so I can squeeze it out.

I decanted the water away and I began to pour some of the residue into a clean bag used as strainer

Then I began to squeeze the water out.

I squeezed it hard until I am sure that the water is out.

Finally, I got the pap and stored in a rubber. I would put it in the refrigerator.

Anytime I need it, I can cut and make into the liquid Pap. Some use it for cold Pap, a semi solid while some use it for swallow food. It's called corn meal. Nni oka in Igbo land. 😅. Thanks.

Tomorrow morning, I won't hesitate to make pap and drink with moimoi as breakfast.

I am glad to teach you how I made pap. Will you try it?

Thanks for stopping by.

Yours, @adoore-eu
