THICKENED MILK

Make a powder, by beating the yelk of an egg, to which a pinch of salt has been added, very light, and mix it with sifted flour, until very stiff; after which, rub between the fingers, adding flour until perfectly dry. Continue the rubbing until the whole lump is reduced to a powder ; then take as much milk as is desired (milk fresh from the cow), and put on the fire in a vessel in which it will boil quickly. As soon as it boils ihrow on the surface a little of the powder, and let it remain there a moment before stirring down ; continue this process until it seems thick enough. This is eaten with either sugar or salt, and is extremely palatable and nourishing. — Mrs, Wiihrow.
