Four cups of wheat flour; place in muslin bag; place in warm water and boil six hours. After taking out of bag, remove outer part; then break up in chunks, place in radiator or slow oven to dry out. Pulverize by grinding. May use it instead of sugar.
BARLEY GRUEL.
One tablespoonful barley flour; 1 quart of water.
Boil twenty to thirty minutes, then strain.
RICE GRUEL AND OATMEAL GRUEL.
Prepare the same as barley gruel.
Note.—The flours thus made are very good carbohydrate foods. Gruels from this kind of flour settle on standing. To prevent this, add barley, oat, or wheat gruel flour before cooking. In using starch, boil solution one hour.
SKIMMED MILK
is prepared by removing the gravity cream or by a centrifuge.
