Ingredients
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/2 cup Milk (optional, for creamier texture)
  • 1/4 cup Cream of Wheat (Instant or Regular)
  • Pinch Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Butter (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Boiling the Liquid

In a saucepan, bring the water (and milk, if using) to a boil over medium-high heat. Adding milk will make the final result creamier.

Adding Ingredients

Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Cream of Wheat, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Continue whisking for about 30 seconds until well combined.

Simmering to Perfection

Simmer on low heat for about 2-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and lumps. The simmering time will depend on whether you are using instant or regular Cream of Wheat.

Finishing Touches

Remove from heat. Stir in butter, if desired, for extra richness. Serve immediately and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
