Mix 1 cup of milk with 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a pan.

Stir constantly until it starts to boil, then lower the heat.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and continue stirring.

Simmer for 2 to 5 minutes until thickened, stirring to prevent clumping.

Temper the egg yolk by mixing a little of the hot mixture into it, then stir it back into the pan.

Cook for an additional minute until the mixture thickens and the egg yolk is safe to eat.

Serve the porridge on a plate, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and a little salt.
