Accoutrements
Before you cook your Cream of Wheat, your first step is to assemble the items you'll need. A 2-quart saucepan is sufficient in size to make breakfast for a family of four. You'll also need a measuring cup, a set of measuring spoons, salt, water, and a large spoon for cooking.
Mix and Cook
Measure 4 1/2 cups of water into your saucepan. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water. Heat the water to boiling. Stir in 3/4 cup of Cream of Wheat. Stir constantly so the hot cereal doesn't become lumpy. As soon as the mixture returns to a slow boil, turn down the heat. Continue stirring. When the Cream of Wheat reaches the thickness you like, remove it from the heat and spoon it into bowls for serving.
Eat and Enjoy
Serve your Cream of Wheat with a teaspoon of sugar sprinkled over it and some milk poured on it as well. Other variations include sprinkling it with brown sugar or cinnamon, adding raisins, or slicing fresh strawberries and mixing them into the hot cereal. You may prefer to add blueberries or raspberries to your Cream of Wheat instead. Some people swirl a tablespoon of jelly or preserves into their Cream of Wheat. An average serving is 3/4 of a cup of the hot cereal.
