Start by boiling 2000 milliliters of water.

Add 500 grams of corn to the boiling water and let it boil for 10 minutes.

Drain the corn and rinse it with cold water, soaking it for 20 minutes.

Prepare a cinnamon concentrate by boiling 500 milliliters of water with cinnamon for about 20 minutes until reduced by half.

After soaking, drain the corn and grind it in a mill until finely ground.

Add water to the ground corn and rub with your hands to extract the starch, then strain to separate the clear water from the starch.

Repeat the washing process until the water is clear and only the starch remains at the bottom.

Boil 2000 milliliters of milk with 500 grams of panela until the panela dissolves.

Combine the starch with the dissolved panela milk, stirring continuously over medium-low heat for about 30-40 minutes until thickened.

Add the cinnamon concentrate to the mixture for extra flavor, if desired.

Prepare molds by buttering them to ensure easy release of the custard later.

Once the custard thickens enough to see the bottom of the pot when stirred, pour it into the prepared molds.

Let the custard cool before serving.
