Cracked Wheat Cereal & Farina

 

1 3/4 c. water

1 c. cracked wheat

 

For fluffy cracked wheat (or brown rice), crack 1/2 cup wheat at a time using a hand grain mill on coarse setting; blender; or a small seed or coffee mill. Each kernel should be cracked at least in thirds for fastest cooking times. In the process of getting all the kernels cracked, some are cracked so many times they become like coarse flour. Sift this out with a regular kitchen strainer (found in any kitchen supply center). The "Farina" you sift from the cracked wheat can be used to make "Cream of Wheat" or "Cream of Rice" cereals...like "Malt-O-Meal." See recipe below.

 

Place water and wheat or rice in heavy saucepan. Bring to a full boil; cover; turn off heat and let sit 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Serve hot with milk and honey. Serves 4.
