Dried Flour for Teething Children
1 cup of flour, tied in a stout muslin bag and dropped into cold water, then set over the fire.
Boil three hours steadily. Turn out the flour ball and dry in the hot sun all day; or, if you need it at once, dry in a moderate oven without shutting the door.
To use it—
Grate a tablespoonful for a cupful of boiling milk and water (half and half). Wet up the flour with a very little cold water, stir in and boil five minutes. Put in a little salt.
