Boiled Flour Gruel

Boiled Flour Gruel image

Moisten a pint of flour with a couple of ounces of cold water. Make it into a ball and tie it up tightly in a strong cloth. Slightly dampen the cloth, sprinkle it with flour and boil it hard for 10 hours. Then take off the cloth and let the ball dry in a slow oven for 10 hours more. Grate 2 teaspoonfuls from the dry ball, mix with cold water to a smooth paste and stir it into half a pint of boiling milk. Simmer about 3 minutes and sweeten. This is considered especially good for children while teething.
