BARLEY AND OATMEAL GRUELS.
How is barley gruel made? Rub up one teaspoonful of the flour with a little cold water, and then stir this into a pint of boiling water, add a pinch of salt and boil it fifteen minutes, strain if it is at all lumpy.
How is oatmeal gruel made? In the same way, but use two teaspoonfuls of the flour.
