Cream of Wheat Pudding

"From The Kitchn blog at http://tinyurl.com/deaj2w Best served piping hot. Author note: "You can use the whole egg in this. However, I find that it's difficult to keep the egg white from curdling at least a little bit when added into the hot cereal, so you may find soft little nubs of egg white throughout. If this won't bother you, add the whole egg. Using just the egg yolk seems to keep it a little smoother.""

directions

  • Bring the milk, water, and salt to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer. Whisk in the Cream of Wheat, whisking as you add it bit by bit. Turn the heat very low and let it simmer for about two minutes or until thickened.
  • While it's simmering, whisk the sugar and egg yolk together in a small bowl, along with about a tablespoon of water to thin it. When the Cream of Wheat has thickened, put a couple big spoonfuls in the bowl with the egg yolk and whisk to temper the egg. Whisk the egg back into the pot of Cream of Wheat. Continue cooking on low heat for another couple minutes. Do not let it boil.
  • Stir in the vanilla and a little grated nutmeg and serve promptly. If you're feeling indulgent, top with a splash of milk and a small pat of butter.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
