This recipe was extracted from Good Things to Eat as Suggested by Rufus (1911) by Rufus Estes, page 35. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
SPAWN AND MILK— Have the water boiling fast. Salt to taste, then holding a handful of meal high in the left hand, let it sift slowly between the fingers into the bubbling water, stirring all the time with the right hand. Stir until a thin, smooth consistency obtains, then push back on the fire where it will cook slowly for several hours, stirring occasionally with a " pudding stick " or wooden spoon. It will thicken as it cooks. Serve in bowls with plenty of good rich milk
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
