1 cup of flour, tied in a stout muslin bag and dropped into cold
water, then set over the fire.
_Boil_ three hours steadily. Turn out the flour ball and dry in the hot
sun all day; or, if you need it at once, dry in a moderate oven without
shutting the door.
_To use it—_
Grate a tablespoonful for a cupful of boiling milk and water (half and
half). Wet up the flour with a very little cold water, stir in and boil
five minutes. Put in a little salt.
