Cracked Whole Wheat Cereal

People have asked how I make my cracked wheat. This is a recipe where I never measure, but I am going to give you some estimates and you can fiddle with it. If you like a creamier texture, add more water, if you like it thicker, use less water.

1 cup wheat berries
2 cups water
Pinch of salt

Put your wheat grinder on it's highest setting. Pour in the wheat and grind. While the wheat is grinding, bring water and salt to a boil. Slowly add your ground wheat using a whisk so you don't get any lumps. Lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cover while you get your condiments out to serve with it.

My children just love honey drizzled over top and some milk. That's it. You can add so many other things, though, like raisins, coconut, fresh berries, cinnamon sugar, etc. Sometimes I add little vanilla.
