Puerto Rican Style Farina Recipes

PUERTO RICAN BREAKFAST CUSTARD

Steps:

• Whisk together the cornstarch, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Stir in the milk to evenly blend ingredients, and set over medium-high heat. Continue whisking and cooking until custard reaches a thick consistency, 25 to 30 minutes. It is important to stir the entire time, or the custard can easily burn or clump. The custard will continue to thicken as it cools. Spoon into bowls to serve.

PUERTO RICAN STYLE FARINA

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.
