YORKSHIRE FRUMENTY (a Christmas supper dish)

Put a pint of good wheat into a bowl, pour cold water over it, and let it soak for twelve hours or more. Cover with a plate, put it in the oven, and let it simmer gently till tender. Stir occasionally to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the dish. Take it out and let it get cold; it ought to be quite stiff. When wanted, stir about a pint of the boiled wheat into a quart of boiling milk, sweeten the mixture, and flavour with grated nutmeg or powdered cinnamon. Let it boil, serve in a soup tureen, and hand it round in soup plates. Time to simmer the wheat, about three hours. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
