Sweet Macaroni.
½ lb. of macaroni.
1 pint of milk.
2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
4 tablespoonfuls of cream.
4 tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Nutmeg and vanilla.
A little salt.
Break the macaroni into short pieces, put into a farina-kettle, cover with the milk, put on the lid of the kettle, and cook with boiling water in the outer vessel, until the milk is soaked up and the macaroni looks clear, but has not begun to break. Add the butter, sugar, and flavoring, and, if you have it, a few spoonfuls of cream. If you have not, thicken a little milk slightly with corn-starch, and use instead. Cover, and set in the boiling water for ten minutes longer. Serve in a deep dish, and send around canned or brandied peaches with it.
