I love Cream of Wheat and have for years and years. It’s absolutely scrumptious with fresh or frozen fruit in the morning. I have a decadent secret though…what’s even better than Cream of Wheat…why it’s fried Cream of Wheat of course!
A quick how-to for you.
Make two to four servings of cream of wheat according to the directions. Cook the cereal until it is rather thick.
Pour it into a buttered loaf pan of some kind. Use a miniature pan for two servings, a larger size for four servings.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, upturn the pan on a cutting board and cut the Cream of Wheat into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces. (Optional: Dredge lightly in flour)
Fry in a buttered pan.
Slather on some butter, maple syrup, fruit…anything your heart desires.
Oh Yum! It sounds a bit odd, but my oh my, it is DELICIOUS!
Read your recipe and polenta immediately came to mind. Nope, I don’t think it would be odd at all. And, yes, it would be delicious.
