MUSMEHLMUS (WHOLE WHEAT MUSH)

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
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.
