En una olla mediana se pone la panela con las astillas de canela. Encima, se vierte la leche.
En una taza de leche se disuelve la maicena y se vierte en la olla.
Se pone a cocinar todo a baja temperatura, rebullendo constantemente hasta que la panela se haya derretido y empiece a espesarse; una vez esté bien espesa, se sirve en pequeños platos de postre con un poco de polvo de canela por encima.
Los platos se meten a la nevera durante una hora y luego se sirven.
