Bring everything to a boil and continue to stir while the porridge thickens, for about five minutes. Stir to dissolve, and add in the (optional) whole wheat bran and the salt. Bring the two cups of milk to a simmer, and stir in the flour paste. Mix the flour with the tablespoons of milk and make it into a paste. A similar product is possible to make at home.ģ tablespoons (25 grams) whole wheat unbleached flourĤ tablespoons (30 grams) whole wheat bran ( optional, not in original product) It is available in Canada but not in the United States, unless you purchase it from a Dutch food importer. Since then, Brinta has expanded their product line with breakfast beverages, a variety of porridges or mush and even loaves of bread, all made with the goodness of whole wheat flour. The connection between sports and Brinta was made, and it continues to this day. In 1963, the year of the coldest Elfstedentocht yet, the winner of this long distance skating event happened to mention that all he had had for breakfast was " een bordje Brinta" (a serving of Brinta porridge). The partially English name was given to the product as a tender (or commercially sound) gesture to the English and American armed forces who were stationed in our country during that time, and who were much more familiar with robuster breakfast grains. Brinta, short for Breakfast Instant Tarwe (wheat), was created in the province of Groningen in 1944. It had turned into a cold, lumpy, mushy bowl of wet concrete. If you were but five minutes late, to where the porridge had cooled considerably and the fibers had had an opportunity to soak up all the liquid, your lovely, warm, early morning breakfast was now fit for slicing. If you were at the breakfast table the moment the hot milk was mixed in with the powdery flakes, life was good. Made only with whole wheat flour, Brinta could either make or break your day.
#APPLE CINNAMON CREAM OF WHEAT FULL#
When you're a little older and have been graced with teeth, regardless of whether you're sporting a " fietsenrek" or a full set of pearly whites, you traditionally "graduate" to a grown-up version of Bambix, a so-called porridge called Brinta. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. It is comforting, velvety and has a tender and sweet taste. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. It usually starts out with Bambix, a creamy, sweet porridge of mixed grains that is mixed with milk and given to toddlers and preschoolers. Growing up in the Netherlands, a child's palate is subjected to a vast array of pap, or porridges. If it's later in the evening, I might indulge in some bierpap, but for a solid start of the day I often get a bowl of homemade Brinta. Inbetween eating, cooking, baking and shopping, I sometimes crave just a simple bowl of good old-fashioned porridge. We kick off the festivities with Sinterklaas and all his goodies, then move onto Christmas where we eat and indulge in more sweets, baked goods and candies, and we wrap up the year with Oudjaarsavond, New Year's Eve, where oliebollen and appelbeignetswill be a mandatory part of the celebrations.
The month of December is one of our sweetest and richest months, food-wise. Made with whole wheat flour, filled with bold cinnamon flavor, tender chunks of apple and a crumbly nut topping that you’ll want to fight over.
