We'll be eating melkkos for breakfast every day in winter.
Nothing warms you up faster than a delicious bowl of melkkos for breakfast.
The South African dish feels like a warm hug on a cold winter's day. The porridge-like dessert is a favourite in many homes.
Food blogger Landi Govender's melkkos recipe is quick and easy to make.
"I love mine served warm, with a generous blob of butter and a dusting of cinnamon sugar. It’s rich, creamy, and honestly, it feels like having dessert for breakfast," Govender said.
Here's how to make it.
