Macaroni witli Kornlet. — Break macaroni into inch lengths, and cook until tender. Prepare the kornlet by adding to it an equal quantity of rich milk or thin cream, and thickening with a little flour, a tablespoonful to the pint. When done, drain the macaroni, and add the kornlet in the proportion of a pint of kornlet mixture to one and one-half cups of macaroni. Mix well, turn into an earthen dish, and brown in a mod- erate oven. Left-over kornlet soup, if kept on ice, may be util- ized for this breakfast dish, and the macaroni maj' be cooked the day before. Green corn pulp may be used in place of the kornlet. Instead of the milk, nut butter dissolved in water, one tablespoonful to the pint of water, may be used.
