1 cup cream of wheat

1 cup sugar

2 cups milk

1 stick butter

 

Put the cream of wheat in a pot by itself with nothing else over the stove. Let it fry until it turns pink.

 

In a separate container mix the milk, sugar, and butter and bring to a boil. This is the hot syrup.

 

Then take this hot syrup and pour it over the pink cream of wheat. Then start mixing over very low flame. Keep mixing until all the syrup is sucked in. Then turn off the stove and let it rest.

 

Once it has rested and cooled to warm and risen a little more, mix it one more time to make it fluffy. Then you are done. Put cinnamon on it if you wish or other stuff.

Congratulations! The site looks great, and the recipes are great. I think it's a great idea, especially for someone like me who is trying learn some of the old Armenian recipes. Thanks to everyone who helped out with the site. Sorry, I can't contribute to the list, but believe me I'll be refering to these recipes all the time.

Dear Dianjan(are you related to Mosjan by any chance? you know DianJan-MosJan)

 

As a forum cookbook rule it is mandatory to invite Maral, Nairi, Extra, Anileve, Movses, Edward, Sip, Harut, and I to dinner any time you use one of our recipes. So what time should we be there tonight?

Dear Azat,

No I'm not related to MosJan, it's just our names sound a like :)

Everyone's welcome to dinner, let me know when you can make it? I have to warn you though, I'm just learning how to cook, so I still have a long way to go. :)

You forgot the pine nuts. Put the pine nuts in the pot first, stir them constantly and make sure they are pink then add the cream of wheat and follow the rest.
