- Reduce the heat to medium and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a metal spatula to stir and fold the crust, breaking up large lumps, until the mixture is golden brown and resembles crumbled cornbread, about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot, with cane syrup, or honey drizzled over the top. Maple syrup if you must - LOL!
