Somersetshire Frumenty

Frumenty is a very old and wholesome dessert, especially for children and elderly people. Cook 1 quart of cracked wheat in 1 quart of water, with a pinch of salt, slowly, until soft. Add 1 quart of milk, and stir it until as thick as cream. Take off the fire, strain it, add sugar and nutmeg to taste, and 2 tablespoonfuls of washed currants. Stir again over the fire until the fruit is soft, add the beaten yolks of 2 eggs and take off. Serve cold in a bowl for supper or lunch.
