Oatmeal Preparations

The oatmeal gruel and water are made after the same recipe as the barley where the prepared oat flour is used. They may however be made out of either the coarse oatmeal or the rolled oats. If the latter are used they should be prepared as described under "Cereals," and the following proportions observed:

Oatmeal Gruel-One-fourth cup rolled oats; one-third cup coarse oatmeal; one and one-half cups water.

Oatmeal Water-One and one-half tablespoons rolled oats; two tablespoons coarse oatmeal; two cups water.

Oatmeal Jelly-four tablespoons rolled oats; five and one-half tablespoons coarse oatmeal; one and one-half cups water.
