Ingredients

3/4 cup whole grain cream of wheat (my Grandma used cornmeal sometimes and Mom also uses grits - any will work)
4 cups water
1 pinch salt
a handful of golden raisins
butter
honey

Directions

1

Do this the night before, or first thing in the morning if you are prone to eating later. Butter an 8x8 square baking dish (or a pie plate if you want wedges).
2

Bring the salt and water to a boil, then stir in the Cream O Wheat and raisins, and cook until it is a thick porridge (I did mine according to directions - 2 1/2 minutes). Pour the porridge into the baking dish and cool over night or until it is solid and sliceable.
3

Heat a decent sized pat of butter in a skillet and cut the mush into 8 pieces. Fry them on both sides until they are nice and crisp, then serve with a drizzle of honey. That is all there is to it! Oh - well then someone gets to scrape the crispy bits out of the pan and eat them.
