Frumenty

To a quarter of a pint of wheat that has been boiled tender in milk, but not pulped, add a quart of new milk or cream, a piece of cinnamon, equal quantities of sugar and well-washed currants--three ounces of each--and boil for fifteen minutes longer. Take the mixture off the fire, and stir in (if only milk be used) the beaten yolks of three eggs and a glass of brandy; send to table in a junket bowl, to be served in cups. If cream is used, the eggs will not be required. Time to boil wheat, from three to four hours. Probable cost, 1s.
