Exact measurements of farina and water are crucial for a cake like result. To ensure this, use the same measuring cup, because some cups are a little different. My husband's recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 c butter
1 c farina
carob powder (about 4-6 T)
2 c water
1 c natural sugar
a generous pinch of salt
peanut butter (about 1/4 c, preferably homemade, unsalted)
PREPARATION:
1. Melt butter and add farina and carob. Cook on low-medium heat, stirring constantly until very hot.
2. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil along with, sugar, salt and peanut butter.
3. Pour boiling liquid into the toasted farina. Stir well and turn off heat. Cover and let stand about ten minutes so that the farina can absorb all the water.
Now don't forget to offer it to Krishna first.
