My mother ALWAYS made it with cornstarch. I've done the same. It gives it less of a raw flour taste

Do you put the egg in while it's hot? Won't the heat scramble the egg?

Hi Jasmen, your pour the yolk slowly as you keep stirring, don't add the yolk all at once.

The porridge recipe doesn't show when to add the milk in the directions. It shows as an ingredient. I assume it goes with the sugar and salt and flour.
