Description

This classic farina breakfast dish offers a soothing, creamy texture that is perfect for chilly mornings or a light, comforting dessert. Made with quick-cooking cream of wheat, it thickens beautifully into a smooth, porridge-like consistency. The addition of raisins provides bursts of natural fruit sweetness and chewy texture, while dark brown sugar adds a deep, molasses-rich flavor profile that elevates the simple grain base. It is an ideal make-ahead meal for busy mornings or a gentle, easy-to-digest option for those seeking comfort food without heavy richness. Simple ingredients combine to create a nostalgic treat that feels both homemade and indulgent.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Divide 3 cups of milk or water evenly among four heat-resistant, non-metallic cereal bowls.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of quick-cooking cream of wheat, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of raisins to each bowl.
  3. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the farina is evenly distributed and not clumped.
  4. Microwave the bowls uncovered on high for 4 to 5 minutes, stopping to stir twice during the cooking process to prevent overflow and ensure even thickening.
  5. Continue cooking until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to a creamy consistency, usually around 4 1/2 minutes total.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of firm-packed dark brown sugar over the top of the hot farina in each bowl.
  7. Let the bowls stand for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the sugar to slightly melt into the warm cereal before serving.
