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

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well and place over medium heat.

Step 2

Heat the mixture until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to ensure that the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Gradually sprinkle the Cream of Wheat into the saucepan, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 4

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and allow the porridge to simmer gently for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Once the Cream of Wheat reaches your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 7

Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until well combined, allowing the butter to melt into the porridge.

Step 8

Let the Cream of Wheat rest for a minute or two before serving to allow flavors to meld and the temperature to drop slightly.

Step 9

Spoon the Cream of Wheat into serving bowls and, if using, add a cinnamon stick for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately, and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of your homemade Cinnamon Cream of Wheat.
