Add 6 cups of cold water to a pot.

Add 1 cup of maize flour to the pot and stir continuously until it starts boiling.

Cover the pot and allow it to cook undisturbed for a minute or two to eliminate any raw flour taste.

Start adding flour in little increments while stirring and mashing through the lumps by pressing the mixture against the side of the pot.

Keep adding flour until you reach your preferred consistency, turning, flipping, and pounding as you go.

Once happy with its consistency, mold the top of the mixture.

Carefully flip the pot onto a plate and smooth the sides of the dish with your cooking stick.
