Translation
Prepare wheat porridge in this way. Pour a half-pound of pure wheat into a clean bowl, wash well and rub away the shell (of the grain) well and clean it out well. Afterwards, pour it into a pot and boil pure water. When it will have been cooked, add it to milk bit by bit continually until finally the gruel will have become thick.
Modern Redaction
Ingredients:
40g Wheat Semolina
75ml Water
25ml Milk
Method:
Combine the semolina and water to a saucepan, then bring to a boil. You don’t want too much water, so add just what you need.
When it starts to thicken (5 or 10 minutes), add the milk little by little, stirring well to mix, then let it simmer for a while. If it’s too watery, or if you like your porridge thicker, add more semolina.
