- 1/2 cup skim milk ⓘ

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider adding fresh fruits like sliced bananas or berries to your cornflakes. You can also substitute skim milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option. For a touch of sweetness, sprinkle a bit of brown sugar or cinnamon over the top. If you're feeling indulgent, pair your cornflakes with a dollop of yogurt for a creamier texture. This simple dish can be customized to fit your taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your cornflakes with a side of toast or a piece of fruit for a more filling breakfast or lunch. They can also be topped with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. This dish pairs beautifully with Aunt Nez's Pound Cake for a delightful brunch spread. Feel free to experiment with nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
Storage & Reheating
Cornflakes are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the milk separately in the refrigerator to prevent sogginess. The cornflakes can be kept in their box or an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to reheat, do so by adding a splash of milk to soften them slightly, but it’s recommended to enjoy them cold for the best texture.
