Used to be for supper growing up. My mother made it in a large enamel pot for us kids... we were an unusually large family in the communist era... and we did get some funny looks from passers by when we went somewhere. Other families would have one or two children and we were seven!
Used to sprinkle sugared cocoa on top of our cream of wheat. Sometimes it was really nice and sometimes it was kind of lumpy. Cream of wheat is breakfast food in Canada and the cocoa on top... well... it doesn't appeal to me anymore.
1 and 1/2 cups skim milk
1/8 tsp salt
3 Tbsp farina
The secret of no lumps is continuous stirring.
• Place the farina and salt in a small saucepan.
• In the microwave bring the milk to boil.
• Slowly stir hot milk into the farina with a wooden spoon.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat immediately and simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened, all the while stirring.
• Top with maple syrup. Serves 1
Thanks to Lorne Fish we now eat cream of wheat with maple syrup.
