Pearl Barley
Pearl barley, well washed, 1 cup.
Water, 4 cups.
Put cold water into double boiler and add pearl barley. Heat slowly and cook about six hours.
Farina
Milk, or water, 6 cups.
Farina, 1 cup.
Salt.
Put the milk or water in the inner part of a double boiler, place on the range, and when boiling add salt and farina. Let it boil for two or three minutes, stirring all the time. Then place in a double boiler and cook one hour. If milk is used, it should first be simmered or scalded in a double boiler, and then placed on the range and the milk will boil almost immediately. In this way the milk will not be so liable to scorch as if it was put on the range at first. This rule will apply to all grains cooked with milk.
