After a child is a year old the various cereals may be given as porridge instead of gruel, with the addition of a little sugar.
Remember, all cereals should be thoroughly cooked (see page 83).
Biscuits.
Gluten, soda, oatmeal or Graham biscuits may be soaked in milk or given alone. Do not give the fancy or sweet biscuits to young children.
Eggs.
A properly boiled egg (see page 69) may be given every alternate day to a child 1 year old.
Junket.
Junket is much better for young children than custards or puddings, and sometimes agrees well with babies.
Take 1 pint of milk, heat it to 98° Fah., or milk warm. Add 1 teaspoonful of rennet and 1 teaspoonful of sugar. Stir all together and let it stand in a warm place until it becomes as thick as jelly. Remove at once to a cool place or whey will appear.
Baked Potatoes.
