Boiled Flour.
[Recipe]. Fine Flour. 1. pound
12. Tie it up in a linen rag as
tight as possible, and after
frequently dipping it in cold
water, dredge the outside
with flour till a crust is
formed round it, which will
prevent the water soaking into
while boiling. It is then to
be boiled until it becomes a
hard, dry mass.
Two or three spoonsful of
this may be grated and
prepared in the same man
ner as arrow root, for
which it forms an excellent
substitute. ------
