Millet porridge cutlets
Description
To make patties, cook millet in milk with sugar and a pinch of salt. Then let the porridge cool slightly—it should be warm when shaping. It's harder to form patties from cold porridge, as millet solidifies quickly. My version is sweet, perfect for afternoon snack. You can also make savory patties by replacing milk with broth, omitting sugar, and adding herbs.
