Put 250g of pre-cooked corn flour in flakes into a container.

Add salt to taste, adjusting based on preference.

Add water little by little to moisten the corn flour, noting that the exact amount depends on the brand of flour used.

The texture should be like wet sand, very damp but not soaked.

Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to soften the flakes.

After resting, stir the mixture again to ensure the couscous is loose.

Fill the water compartment of the couscous pan halfway with water.

Place the steam basket in the pan and transfer the hydrated corn flour to the basket without squeezing it to keep it fluffy.

Cover the steam basket and place it over medium heat for about 15 minutes or until the couscous is firm and soft to the touch.

When the water in the couscous pan starts to boil, lower the heat and then turn it off.

Remove the couscous from the pan and serve with butter.
