For each cup of cracked wheat you are cooking, you will need two cups of water.  In sauce pan boil water.  When water reaches rolling boil, add the cracked wheat.  After adding the wheat, lower temperature to a simmer.  Simmer for 15 minutes.  When wheat is soft enough to eat, turn the stove off and let stand for 10 minutes to cool before serving.

Note:

Cracked wheat is also referred to as Bulgar wheat.
