Furmentry
 
1 cup cracked wheat
1/8 tsp. ground mace
1 quart milk
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp. salt
additional brown sugar
 
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil and add the wheat.  Lower
heat to simmer, cover, and continue to cook for 1/2 hour, or until
soft.  Drain off the water and add the milk, cream, salt, mace,
cinnamon and sugar.  Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally,
until most of the liquid is absorbed (20 - 30 minutes).  In a small
bowl, beat the egg yolks and slowly stir 1/2 cup of the wheat
mixture into the yolks.  Then stir the yolk mixture into the pot,
and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Serve sprinkled with brown sugar.
