Description
A delicious, sweet, buttery, Cream of Wheat recipe. The perfect hot cereal for cold winter mornings. It also makes for a good late-night snack since it’s small and light on the stomach.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Cream Of Wheat
- 2 Cups Of Water
- 1/2 Cup Evaporated Milk
- 1/4 Cup Butter
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Fill a small pot with cool water.
- Add the salt, and place over high heat.
- After 3 minutes, reduce to medium heat.
- Slowly pour the cream of wheat into the pot while vigorously stirring it with a silicone whisk.
*This prevents the formation of lumps* - Stir in the milk, butter, and sugar.
- Let it cook for 2 more minutes while continuing to stir.
Notes
- More flavor: I like to add another teaspoon of butter and a little more evaporated milk to my bowl of cream of wheat. That makes it even better. Yum!
- Storage: I recommend eating it in one setting. If you choose not too, pour it into a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and set it in the refrigerator.
- Reheating: Reheat it in the microwave for 2 minutes. If it stiffened, you may want to stir in a pinch of milk to loosen it.
- Lumps: I find that whenever I’ve reheated cream of wheat with a pinch of milk, little lumps would form. To avoid this as much as possible, stir the milk in with a whisk after reheating it.
- More on the lumps: You still may find some little lumps forming but this is why I don’t like to save cream of wheat and prefer eating it in one setting.
