FLUMMERY, a kind of jelly made of oatmeal, in the following manner: Steep three large table-spoonfuls of finely ground oatmeal for 24 hours in two quarts of pure water, then pour off the clear fluid, and replace it by three pints of fresh water; strain it through a fine hair sieve, add to it two spoonfuls of orange-flower water, and one of sugar; boil the whole to the consistence of a hasty pudding, stirring it continually while boiling, till it become perfectly smooth. This preparation affords a grateful and nutritive breakfast to persons liable to costiveness, in consequence of a sedentary life.
