Sago Melkkos (Sago Pudding) Recipe

Sago pudding or better known as Melkkos is a traditional Afrikaans dessert. This is a very nice light meal for a cold or rainy day. My mom and I made it for years and because it is so deliciously light and fluffy. If you remembered having this as a child, I am sure it was your favourite, now you will enjoy it as real comfort food.. Delicious!
