Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Cream of Wheat
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 optional for garnish Cinnamon stick
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well and place over medium heat.
Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely.
Gradually sprinkle the Cream of Wheat into the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the porridge to simmer gently for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Once the Cream of Wheat reaches your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until well combined, allowing the butter to melt into the porridge.
Let the Cream of Wheat rest for a minute or two before serving to allow flavors to meld and the temperature to drop slightly.
Spoon the Cream of Wheat into serving bowls and, if using, add a cinnamon stick for garnish.
Serve immediately, and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your homemade Cinnamon Cream of Wheat.
