Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cream of wheat (instant or regular)
  • 2 cups milk (or water for a lighter version)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, nuts, cinnamon, or nutmeg
Instructions
    1. Heat the liquid: In a medium saucepan, bring the milk (or water) and salt to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    2. Add cream of wheat: Once the liquid is simmering, slowly whisk in the cream of wheat to avoid lumps. Keep stirring continuously.

    3. Cook the porridge: Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for about 5 minutes for instant cream of wheat or 10 minutes for regular. The mixture will thicken as it cooks.

    4. Add sweetness and butter: If desired, stir in the sugar and butter once the porridge reaches the desired thickness.

    5. Serve: Remove from heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly. Add your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
