Farina/Cream of Wheat

Is farina sold under any other name or guise in the UK? I have some Cream of Wheat but not enough to make the muffins that I want to make.

If not, oh well, I will get my parents to bring me some when they come over next month!

Oh...care to share the recipe?  I LOVE cream of wheat

Here you go! Delish with lots of fresh cold butter (but what isn't delish with lots of fresh cold butter)

Makes 12 regular sized muffins.

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 c. milk
1 egg
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
3/4 c. farina
1/8 tsp. salt
2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 425

Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in milk and egg.

In a seperate bowl mix together dry ingredients, and then fold into wet ingredients.

Bake in greased or lined muffin tins for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden.

Sounds good thanks!

i thought it was the same as semolina...

i thought it was the same as semolina...

It is. 

Wow, I was just craving Farina the other day, weird

Cool to know I can just buy semolina

It is. 

You are joking. No Freakin way.
OMG.

I never knew that either - I love Cream of Wheat. 

I was checking the Wikipedia entry on Semolina and it says that farina is a non-durum semolina.  Can you get that easily over here, or is it mostly durum semolina for pasta making?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semolina

semolina for porridge is usually steel-cut soft common wheat whereas "durum semolina" used for pasta or gnocchi is coarsely ground from either durum wheat or other hard wheat, usually the latter because it costs less to grow

I just looked at my box of Cream of Wheat, (imported, and found at an asian grocer) and it's ingredients are wheat farina, partially defatted wheat germ, and ferric phosphate (source of iron.)

Those sound yummy!
