Instructions
 

  • Mill the wheat berries according to your grain mill instructions. If you have the option to change the coarseness of your wheat, set it to a coarser setting. I use an 8 on my mockmill.
  • Once your fresh flour is milled, add the flour, milk, and a sprinkle of salt to a medium saucepan. 
  • Heat the cream of wheat over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent clumps forming. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the cream of wheat is thick and creamy.
