"This is similar to a cream of wheat cake that is posted, but this makes yummy, dense, syrupy squares. Very addictive."

directions

  • Syrup:

  • Combine sugar, water, lemon juice and rind in a saucepan.
  • Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn to low, and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Cool. Reserve 3/4 cup for square batter.
  • Squares:

  • Heat oven to 350°F
  • Grease an 8X8" or 13X9" pan (depending on whether you want thick or thin squares).
  • Combine Cream of Wheat, yogurt, butter, baking powder, and 3/4 cup cooled syrup. Mix well, but do not beat.
  • Pour into pan, spreading evenly. Shake and lightly drop pan to settle mixture.
  • Lightly mark squares or diamonds (without cutting through) and place one or two almonds in the centre of each one.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes. Remove and turn oven up to 375°F.
  • Cut squares through and return to oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Pour remaining cooled syrup over top and let sit until syrup is absorbed (this takes a long time, so I usually make these the night before I need them).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a young (if I do say so myself!) mom to 3 boys, ages 4, 2 and 4 months (as of Jan 08), and my husband and I live on 19 acres outside of a small village called Douglas. I grew up in Ottawa, but always wanted to live in this area, having spent a lot of time around here at my parents' cottage. Most of my time is spent with my boys and taking care of our new old 100 year old farmhouse. I absolutely love cooking and trying new things, and I'm very much into natural healing and healing through diet.
