MILK CEREALS

Most cereals are better cooked in milk than in water and those not familiar with this method have no idea of the many good dishes which they can thus easily provide for their families. Cereals so prepared make an especially good wholesome breakfast or supper for school children and the writer has never seen an adult, who, on a cold night, did not enjoy a dish of rice, or corn meal, boiled in milk and served with cream and sugar for supper. Milk cereals must always be cooked in a double boiler and the milk must be hot when the cereal is added.

Rice1 cup to 3 cups milk, boil 2 hours
Cornmeal1 cup to 4 cups milk, boil 1 to 2 hours
Fine Hominy1 cup to 4 cups milk, boil 1 hour
Cream of Wheat1 cup to 4 cups milk, boil 1 hour
Farina1 cup to 4 cups milk, boil 1 hour

Cream of Wheat or Farina Pudding is also delicious. It is prepared in the same way, but ¾ cup of cereal only is added to 1 quart hot milk. Just before serving, a teaspoonful of vanilla is added, and two beaten eggs are folded in. It is eaten with cream, or milk, and sugar, or with maple syrup.
