Contains Milk Read from the ingredients, not verified. Check labels.

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

Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Set a pail containing a quart of milk into a kettle of boiling water.
Put in a few pieces of stick-cinnamon.
When the milk boils, take out the cinnamon and add a teaspoonful of salt, and stir in, very gradually, four table-spoonfuls of dry farina;
beat out the lumps, and stir it often during the first ten minutes, then leave it to boil half an hour or more, remembering to stir it repeatedly during that time.
Put it in a mould till the next day.
Serve it as blanc-mange.
Made thin, like gruel, it is excellent food for young children.
