💡 Ammattilaisvinkit
- ✓Using fresh corn is key for the best flavor and texture. Frozen corn can be used in a pinch, but thaw it completely first.
- ✓Stirring constantly is important to prevent the atol from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- ✓For a thicker atol, you can add a tablespoon of masa harina (corn flour) mixed with a little water to the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
