Title: Musmehlmus (Whole Wheat Mush)
Categories: Cereal
Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/2	l	Milk (1 1/2 qt)
200	g	Musmehl flour (7 oz) (a coarsely ground wheat flour,
		In olden times, spelt flour, from which only
		Part of the bran has been removed)
2	sl	Rye bread, cubed
50	g	Butter (3 1/2 Tbsp)

From grandmother's more thrifty times; rarely encountered today.

Bring the milk to a boil. Stirring constantly, add the Musmehl flour. Keep at a low boil for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly. When ready to serve, with a spoon carefully pour the melted butter over the mush (which should already have formed a skin), and put the ryebread cubes on top. The mush tastes best when eaten from a copper skillet, and must have a 'Schuepet' [browned crust on the bottom].

Serves 4.
