Place the buttermilk and cream in a pan and heat until just below boiling point.

Stir in the salt and gradually add the maize meal, stirring.

Reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.

Using a large fork, stir up the pap, until it’s crumbly and cover again with the lid.

Simmer for a further 20 – 25 minutes on a low heat, until cooked.
