Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. a gallon of milk

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. A very useful article may be made for weakly and consumptive persons in the following manner.
  2. Put a gallon of milk into a jar, tie white paper over it, and let it stand all night in the oven when baking is over.
  3. Next morning it will be as thick as cream, and may be drank two or three times a day.
