Tiakri (Steamed Millet Couscous)
- 1 pound millet flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 quart buttermilk
- 3/4 cup Vanilla Sugar
- Confectioners' sugar to taste
- Place the millet flour in a medium-sized bowl and dampen it slightly with the water.
- Form small lentil-sized balls from the dampened flour by rubbing them around in your hands.
- Think kindergarten and making beads.
- (You may need more or less water depending on the texture of your millet flour, so add the water gradually.)
- When the balls are made, place them in the top part of a couscoussiere or a steamer and steam until they are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- When ready, remove and allow the tiakri to cool to room temperature.
- While the milled balls are cooling, add the sugars to the buttermilk and stir well to make sure that it is well mixed.
- When the milled balls have cooled, place them in a serving bowl, pour the sweetened buttermilk over them, and serve.
