The main key to achieving fluffy wheat porridge is rinsing. First, the cereal is washed with warm water at approximately room temperature, and when the flowing liquid begins to become transparent, you can begin to gradually reduce the temperature.
The washed cereal is poured into a pan with a thick bottom and filled with twice as much water. After salting, put the wheat grits on the fire and cover with a lid without a hole. To ensure that excess steam can still escape, place a rolled kitchen towel under the lid.
Cover the pan with a bowl of the appropriate diameter on top and leave everything for 15 minutes on low heat. At the end of cooking, remove the dish from the heat, but do not open the lid, let the wheat porridge in the water sit for the same period of time. Only then add melted butter and stir.
