488. Cooked Grain

Brachos 3:3

Let’s say that a person cooks flour of one of the five species of grain mixed with water or other liquid. If the mixture is thick enough that it can be eaten and chewed, one recites the bracha of borei minei mezonos before and al hamichya after. If the mixture is so thin that one could drink it, one recites shehakol before and borei nefashos after.

Brachos 3:4

The bracha of borei minei mezonos is recited before: (a) flour of the five species of grain that was cooked in a pot, either by itself or together with other ingredients, like dumplings; (b) grain that was crushed and cooked in a pot, like oatmeal. These two types of food are called “cooked dishes.” The same rules apply to any dish into which flour or bread from the five species of grain has been mixed.
