This isn't really a recipe, but more of a how-to for something not many people have probably heard of. This was one of our family favorites growing up and I love that my kids request it, too.
Basically all you need is Shredded Wheat, butter (REAL butter, of course), milk and syrup. If you're on a diet, look away now.
Warm a pan on medium heat. Melt some butter. I don't know how much but don't be stingy.
Dip Shredded Wheat in a bowl of milk, fully submerging it, flip it if necessary and let the milk drain out. Don't "soak" it or it won't get crisp, but you do want all the cereal inside to be moistened. Place it into the hot pan of butter. Fry for a few minutes, until crispy and flip, BUT as you're flipping it over, ADD MORE BUTTER to the pan. Yummyyyyyyyy. Cook until crispy and then serve with...
...wait for it...
...MORE BUTTER. And some syrup.
Then come back here and THANK ME for the easiest, yummiest warm "cereal" you've ever had!
This is also one of our family recipes! Never heard of anyone else eating it except those we have introduced it to.
ReplyDeleteWe however don’t put syrup on it, we top it with a fried egg!
Been eating it all my life with my family. My grandmother used to make it all the time. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't do the sugar, just fry it in a pan and top with a fried egg or 2. Salt and pepper. Whole wheat hash browns!
ReplyDeleteWe top it with cinnamon sugar for a fried shredded wheat churro. Or sometimes Nutella. Going to have to try the savory version with a fried egg.
