Instructions
Make Millet Meal
In a large pan, toast the whole millet grain (in most bulk food sections) over medium heat, shimming the pan frequently to disperse the grains and not burn them. When they smell toasty and start popping, it's done. Maybe 5-10 minutes, depending on the quantity you are doing at one interval: I did a whole pound at once in my cast iron skillet.
Grind grains in a clean coffee mill/spice grinder until powdery like flour: ready to use! Alternately, you could use a blender. You could also skip the toasting step, but the toasted flavor of the grain IS delicious and adds another flavor dimension to this simple cereal!
Make the Cereal:
Bring the millet meal, milk (or any liquid), dates, and salt to a calm simmer over medium-low heat, whisking occasionally to prevent clumps
Let the mixture simmer for at least 5 minutes: this helps the dates disintegrate and gives the cereal sweetness.
