I grew up eating this version of farina. I have fond childhood memories of my Mom placing a hot bowl in front of me, topped with sugar crystals and cinnamon, floating in swirls of melted butter and milk.

Steps:
- 1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, water, salt, vanilla, fresh nutmeg and a cinnamon stick. Bring to a low simmer, stirring constantly to prevent the milk from scorching or forming a skin.
- 2. Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
- 3. Remove the cinnamon stick & discard.
- 4. Add the butter and stir until completely melted.
- 5. Add farina slowly to prevent lumps and stir constantly for about 1 minute.
- 6. Remove the pan from heat and continue stirring until the farina has thickened to a wet porridge-like consistency. DO NOT OVERCOOK! The farina will continue to thicken a bit after serving.
- 7. Serve in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle ground cinnamon and a bit of sugar on top, add a small pat of butter and "float" in milk by pouring a bit of milk down the side of the bowl so it makes a farina island.
MOM'S FARINA BREAKFAST PUDDING
Thick and fragrant of vanilla, this sweet summer breakfast pudding was a special treat that my mother made when I was little. It's definitely not your everyday cereal and is good plain or served with berries. Prep time includes chilling overnight.
