Ingredients

Directions

  1. Divide the milk or water evenly among four microwave-safe bowls.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of cream of wheat and 2 tablespoons of raisins to each bowl.
  3. Microwave uncovered on high for 4 to 5 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through to prevent boiling over.
  4. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and bubbles appear around the edges.
  5. Remove carefully from the microwave and let stand for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the farina to absorb remaining liquid.
  6. Stir gently to combine, then top each serving with 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.
