With all the snow, my mind keeps returning to migliaccio, an Italian custard made from farina. In my family, it’s a tradition to make this when it snows.
1. Preheat oven to 500ºF.
2. On the stovetop, cook farina in water, stirring until thickened. I use ceramic-glass bakeware such as CorningWare, which can go from stovetop to oven, thereby saving me from washing an extra pot. Good times.
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with the milk.
4. Remove farina from heat and add butter, sugar, milk/egg mixture, and vanilla.
5. Mix until thoroughly combined.
6. Place in the oven and lower temperature to 350ºF.
7. Bake 1 hour or more until bubbling and brown.
We all have our opinions about whether this is best eaten hot, warm, or cold. Click the related blog post link above to read my post about this recipe. Enjoy!

just curious, set heat oven to 500 then reduce to 350? why not start at 350?

Thanks! lol! Yes in the south (plus being in a VERY small town) we do not have a lot of variety in the grocery department. We recently just got panko bread crumbs at my local store. I will try to make this and use cream of wheat. Thanks again!

Hi, Newchef. Farina is a cereal grain made from semolina. It’s typically eaten for breakfast, like oatmeal. Some people add sugar, milk, fruit, nuts, etc. You may know the brand Cream of Wheat.
I looked at your profile and see that you live in the south. It’s similar to grits, although grits are made from corn.

What is Farina? I’ve never heard of it…
