Ingredients
Instructions
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.
Add cream of wheat: Once the liquid is simmering, slowly whisk in the cream of wheat to avoid lumps. Keep stirring continuously.
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.
Add sweetness and butter: If desired, stir in the sugar and butter once the porridge reaches the desired thickness.
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.
