Two cupfuls of milk ; two tablespoonfuls of rice or rice-flour ; half a cupful of cold water.

If you cannot procure the rice-flour wash the rice thoroughly and crush it with a rolling-pin or in a mortar with a pestle ; or, it may be laid between two folds of coarse cloth and hammered with a potato-beetle until it is well broken. Mix it with the water and stir it into the milk, which should be scalding-hot, in a double boiler. Cook for half an hour, salt, and serve.
