The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book

The book that taught America to measure. Fannie Farmer's 1896 classic replaced the pinch, the lump and the teacup of the old receipts with the level cup and the level spoon — and then filled eight hundred pages with what to do next.

Breakfast Cocoa

1½ tablespoons prepared cocoa 2 tablespoons sugar Few grains salt 2 cups boiling water 2 cups milk Scald milk. Mix cocoa, sugar, and salt, dilute with onehalf cup boiling water to make smooth paste, add remaining water, and boil five minutes; turn into scalded milk and beat two minutes, using egg-beater, when froth will form, preventing scum, which is so unsightly; this is known as milling.
