Scale
- 2 1/2 cups milk or water
- 1/2 cup farina
- 1/4 cup honey or sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Combine farina with milk, sweetener, salt, and cinnamon: Whisk everything except the butter together in a pot over medium heat. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens.
- Whisk in butter & serve: Once the cream of wheat begins to thicken, turn the heat to low and whisk in butter. Once the butter melts into the mixture, your farina is ready to enjoy.
