BOILED INDIAN MEAL MUSH. Put over the fire a saucepan containing about two quarts of water and a level tablespoon of salt ; into this water, when it boils, stir enough Indian meal to make a mush thick enough to hold the pudding-stick upright in it when it boils ; about two pounds of Indian meal will thicken two quarts of water ; unless it seems quite easy to sift the meal gradually into the boiling water with the left hand, while the right is used constantly for stirring, the meal may be mixed to a thin batter with cold water and then poured and stirred gradually into the boiling water; the addition of two heaping tablespoons of flour

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
