FARINA

Makes a robust breakfast and lunch for one or a simple breakfast for two

Farina is a comforting cereal on an icy morning. I make mine from the “mids” at Carolina Ground: a by-product of the milling process that is neither completely flour nor completely bran. It’s as instant as it gets.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup farina or “mids”

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups water

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

Maple syrup

Extra butter

TOOLS YOU’LL NEED

Measuring cups and spoons

Whisk

Saucepan

Whisk the farina, cream, water, butter, cinnamon, and salt together in the saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low.

Stir constantly.

Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the farina is smooth and creamy.

Top it with maple syrup and a few pats of butter.

Eat hot.
