3 cups of new milk.
2½ tablespoonfuls of arrowroot, wet up with cold milk.
¾ cup of sugar.
Vanilla, lemon, or bitter almond flavoring, with a little white wine.
Mix the arrowroot to a smooth batter with one cup of the milk. Heat the
remainder to boiling; add the arrowroot, stirring constantly. When it
begins to thicken put in the sugar, and cook ten minutes longer, still
stirring it well from the sides and bottom. Take it off; beat well five
minutes; flavor with the essence and a small wineglass of white wine.
Give a hard final stir before putting it into a mould wet with cold
water.
This is very nourishing for invalids and young children. For the latter
you may omit the wine.
