Baby Girl hates Millet Cereal almost as much as she hated rice cereal. At this point she has no need of it, so I’m only giving it to her to establish she isn’t allergic, as I plan to give it to her later as an ingredient. Here’s the easy way I made it.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup millet
1 cup water
Equipment:
Food Processor
Pot and Stove
1. Put the millet in a food processor and process until it is ground up to a very fine, uniform powder. It takes about five minutes of continuous processing to reach this point. You’ll need a good food processor too. I use my Cuisinart Mini-Prep because a) it’s awesome and b) it has a grind function that does a better job than the standard chop function on most processors for this. An off brand dinosaur just won’t do the trick.
2. Over high heat, bring the water to a boil.
3. Once the water is boiling, add the millet powder and turn the heat down to low.
4. Cook, whisking constantly, over low heat until all the water is absorbed and the cereal is smooth. This will take about five minutes.
5. Transfer to containers (I use the OXO Tot baby food containers because they’re airtight, plus freezer and microwave safe). To store, keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Cereal thickens when it is stored, so be prepared to water it down further or mix it with breast milk or formula when using leftovers. It is best served right away, so feel free to only cook up what you’ll use and store the remaining powder in an airtight container for later cooking.
Pretty easy!
