When my grandfather sends me fresh produce from his vast garden, I always make this chicken soup with beans and vegetables. It is regarded as the best soup they have ever had by my pals. The recipe is quite open-ended; you can add whatever suits your tastes. Ingredients are simply thrown in until the dish has the appearance and flavor I want. When you’re unwell, I guarantee it will make everything better! The soup gets tastier as it simmers for a longer period of time over low heat. Because I simply cannot wait, I frequently consume a bowl while it is cooking.

It was great
I am a pancake fanatic and have more recipes than I can count; some quite elaborate. This one surprised me. I love farina so I thought I’d give it a try. The texture and flavor are wonderful! Puffy and delicious. This is definitely a keeper.
Loved the taste and texture of these pancakes. I followed the recipe as written and do not plan on making any changes. Except for adding fresh blueberries!
These pancakes were tasty, but mine did not come out thick and they were a bit flat.

I love these pancakes, I make a batch and freeze leftover pancakes for future breakfasts for my DH. They reheat beautifully and are still light and moist. Best of all they mix up in a hurry.
I only had about ¾ c buttermilk so I used that & added skim milk until I was satisfied with the consistency. Like others, I mixed all dry ingredients then added wet. I used a little less oil and they turned out great. My kids don’t think they like cream of wheat, but they loved these pancakes and said they were “different but in a good way!” I tasted a drop of batter & it tasted like cake batter! Probably the vanilla 🙂
Best pancakes ever and easy to make
Fantastic melt in your mouth pancakes!
Make again
These pancakes were light and fluffy- it will be my go to recipe for pancakes from now on.
Wonderful and hearty yet thinner than you would expect. I will add just a little more flour next time. A double batch made A LOT of pancakes, about 24 pancakes!! The slightly grainy texture and added flavor made it an instant favorite.
The flavor was ok but the texture was to heavy. No I would not try it again.
As others did, I first makes the dry ingredients and then added the liquid. I let it rest for five minutes before cooking on an electric griddle. This recipe cooked up better than my usual brand and yielded a uniform, tasty pancake.
Delicious and oh so easy!
It came out great ! My relatives loved it.
I didn’t like these because they were very thin. Didn’t rise much to become fluffy. They were not dense or unpleasant just not what I like. They were also a bit too sweet. The later ones did lose some of the “crunchy gritty” texture so I would definitely suggest letting the batter rest. It was a thin batter as well.
Very good. Like previous reviewer said, mix dry ingredients first.
can I use instant grits instead of farina?

I replace the farina with semolina. Came out so good!
